asianRobert Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Hey guys so I ordered a nismo v2 front bumper which should be here in a week or so and I cant for the life of me decide on what colour to paint the front lip. Initially i was going with black because I am running the tarmac sportz side splitters in gloss black so I wanted everything to match (black side splitters, black front lip and black wheels etc.) but now that I looked at some pictures of the front lip colour matched with the rest of the car I cant decide which to go with. What are your thoughts? gloss black front lip or colour matched? if you like to know this is how my car looks atm, cant see it this picture but I am running a front lip Pictures of v2 front bumper Edited October 7, 2016 by asianRobert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Black. Definitely black if you've got black skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I would go for gloss black also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 On my old 350, I had nismo v2 also, with tarmac side spliiters. I had my side steps colour coded, but the lip on the v2 gloss black. Nearly changed a few times but always kept it black in the end. My mate, the new owner had the lip colour coded when getting the bumper re done, and to be honest it looks a lot better than I thought. I would may even go as far as saying I prefer it. Below is a pic of my old car (top) but with my mates ownership, so grey lip. And below that is a pic of another mates car, with a black lip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another main reason why i want to colour match is because i want to get the nismo rear addons as well but I dont want them to be black because it doesnt look right to me May i ask where you bought the new bumper and how much?..thinking of changing mine also. Mike costs a lot about £650 with shipping from the US (ebay), its expensive because its made of polyurethane. You can buy a fiberglass one for around half the price, I think there is a vendor on here that sells them but cant remember who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-blade- Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Colour coded? with black grille mesh, then you can wrap and unwrap to your hearts content? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
