Poll... 2015 Nismo Front Bumper Grill paint opinion.

shika805 · 09-14-2016, 02:25 AM

Need some fellow Z owners opinions. Starting my 2015 Nismo Front Fascia conversion on my 40th Z. Having issues deciding how I want to paint the front grill of the Fascia. I've narrowed to 3 options. Need your opinion. I will be adding the Carbon Signal 3piece lip FRP painted in gloss black and will be keeping the red bottom inserts. 4th option would be to do a combination of any of the 3.

Any photos of other members' 2015 Nismo Coversion with different girl paint combinations is welcomed.

Option 1- Complete Gloss black grill and trim

Option 2- zefaulter's complete 40th Z metallic grey (kav) grill and trim

Option 3- original 2015 Nismo color combination

Option 4- none of the the above or any combination of the following 3.

You will not notice a difference between gray and black so that is a matter of preference. With the CS lip, I would black out the red inserts and paint the CS lip add on red.

1 and 2 will be cheaper. Less expensive paint.

Nice brotha.

Response curve is not revealing much help. Good luck with whatever you decide.

... Damn you. I think I'm going to do option 2 on mine

While we're here, does anyone have the exact measurements of the Nismo emblem on the front front bumper?
