Default nismo wing options. Different paint?

I have been inspired by a clean evo that lives in the same apt complex as me. I noticed that the wing is painted flat black on the underside of it. I will admit I do not have a nismo, but I will be purchasing the wing.

I have my front and rear valence painted flat black and I think it would look good to match the underside of the wing. Also thoughts on what area exactly to paint. I was thinking of copying the evo design and painting the upper underside and the interior of the side portion.

Pics below are evo wing underside painted and a picture of a nismo wing with the underside exposed. Has anyone already seen this or have pictures? I can take pics of the guys car next time I see it if that is necessary.

Sure, that would look good. But honestly, it's so subtle that only you (and maybe your evo neighbor) would notice it.
I have yet to see a wing painted like that on this forum.
The most similar would be the 3M CF vinyl on the top... you can use flat black vinyl on the underside.
But hey, +1 for uniqueness...

Check out the evo-r high wing

You are probably thinking along the lines of the black that is showing on HERE

It's your car, but I personally would avoid doing vinyl, especially vinyl fake CF.....3m or not. All these vinyl cars look good in the beginning until they open their door or hood. And over time.....well, all the guys that I know personally end up removing them once they start peeling on the many seams/edges.

These are just my own opinions, not the biblical way to mod cars.....

I had the CF replacement hood on my EVO X from AMS, there was nothing funnier than parking next to a BMW with the fake CF vinyl on their roofs and wherever else on their cars....

Good luck with whatever you choose, and keep us updated. Many times, those small details....is what sets you apart from the rest. The extra details without adding rice.

Well I have had my roof vinyled for a year with the fake fiber and it holds up good. Just wrapped the whole car matte gray. I say vinyl>paint because like stated above me, you can take it off when your tired of it.
