Default C-West 996 Aero questions

Hey all,

I enjoy reading up on random things as I search for the end of the internet and also looking at maybe updating some of the exterior to some RPM Technik pieces. In the past I had authentic C-West parts on my 350Z, the fit and finish was 100% perfect with no fitting needed... just prep and paint. Being that I'm new and maybe some older threads can sometimes be purged from the forum, has there been anyone on this site who has either seen or actually owns the C-West kit? Here's a photo because threads do better with photos.



From what I can tell, it's the:

- Hood
- Bumper
- Wing

C-West does sell a Carbon Kevlar rear Cup bumper and it appears to be the same as the "Regular" cup car and the hood has an air dam vs the vents we'd regularly see in the RS.

C-West...thats a blast from my past... I had a C-West bumper on my Evo for a bit.

Never knew they make parts for the 996, pretty cool.

Swapped it out for a full Voltex wide body running 285 on all 4 corners...500WHP on pump gas with alcohol and close to 600 on C16...


I have toyed with the idea of throwing a Voltex wing on mine to scratch that JDM bug.





Back to your regularly scheduled program and the C-West kit, not sure how I feel about it but if you like it - I would love to see it mounted on a car !

That Evo was seriously serious! I’ve seen a 997.2 GT3 with wing and TE37s... love that damned set up. Here’s my old Z:






I like whatever wing that is on the Advan car.... I’d love to know the specs. I have a GT3 wing and really like the RPM duckbill. Here’s pics of the RPM Technik.

Love the Z...Works bell quick release, TE's...Awesome car.

I've corresponded with the guys over at RPM Technik before, they're cool and can get you setup with that duckbill.

"the ducktail (with the associated parts) retails at £1420.00."

Let me know if you want their contact info.

I will maybe later this year. I’ve only had my 996.2 for a month and I’m out of town for work now until March. It needs some maintenance and it still has a the IMS. Rims and Aero are up next after that gets done.

Funny - you bring the duckbill up and what pops up on my YT suggestions... They're watching us.

Our FBI agents are cool... they live vicariously through us.

It has nothing to do with the FBI - it's all "social media"/marketing crap (though if the FBI wants/needs it it's all there for the taking). Pretty sickening really - that we've "given up" (uh I don't remember giving anybody permission to track me - even though I'm sure I did somewhere along the line) our personal information/likes/dislikes etc. for the convenience of using the web/internet...

I mean it was meant to be a joke and it’s probably a NSA guy.

For those who are interested, I reached out to C-West regarding the front bumper in Carbon Kevlar. Their site has it listed around 1600.00 but that doesn't include shipping.
