Nope, that's the stock color

Ok so I need some opinions from you guys. Want to get the Evo-R front lip and trying to decide how to paint it, whether to do color matched or leave it black. Here are some photoshops Isamu did for me. Which one do you guys thinks looks best?

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

I love option 5 the most. I think it looks the best. Shahid, your Z is coming along very well

Thanks man!

Seems like 5 is the most popular option, so I think that's what I'll go with

Wouldn't happen if they'd just learn how to drive

Are we plasti-dipping the bumper to see if u want to go through the paint or you just gonna paint it straight out?

I really want to try that new metalizer finisher for it lol.

Dallaz · 01-23-2012, 07:31 PM

Definitely have the fangs black, but my favorite is #4. I think #5 makes the edges look more out of place and not as much a part of the car. Don't get me wrong, I think any one of those is going to look good.

I think we're just going to plasti dip the fangs and leave it like that. I don't want to paint it permanently so plasti dip should be ok. If you want to try it out we can do it in a small section somewhere on the car and then take it off.

I'll try to get the bumper installed at Kirk's garage after the meet on Saturday. Would have tried for sometime this week but I have classes starting Wednesday

The added bonus of a 3 piece lip, I can always get the middle part painted later and change up the look

b1adesofcha0s · 01-23-2012, 07:53 PM

Actually I have a better idea. Why don't we just install the bumper at your place and plasti dip the fangs as well. You can bring the altima to my place to get the bumper (will it fit in the altima?) then we can go to the meet and to your house after that. If not that, maybe I can get my cousin to drive my Z to the meet and I can bring the bumper in my dad's minivan.
