So I have the Stillen Lip + Rockers and I am kinda on the fence with either painting it Black to match the body or painting it Dark Slate kinda like this GTR pictured below. I would keep those 2 holes on the front lip black and the hole in the rockers would also be black. I'm just wondering would it would look incomplete since I dont have a piece on the back to be painted Dark Slate? I kinda value you guy's opinion so I was just wondering what yall thought about this. I have the black T-Rex grill like Infantry1327 but I plan to put the Nissan burger on it to cover up that Brace thing behind it. So the original grill wouldnt be there. So the front wouldnt look stock. Maybe I could get brandon to paint the inside of my projectors Dark Slate to match/accent it. I dont know..... Just tell me what you think

This is the GTR mentioned above:

A visual would be nice also. Mcheddadi, can you or somebody else who can photoshop, make it look the way I described earlier?....Black body with Dark Slate rockers and front Lip

I say do it, it would be unique (plus I just want to see what it would look like) but then again it might look weird not having it tie in with the rear??

Thats the only thing that is holding me back. I kinda figure if all else fails I could just paint part of the rear bumper like that to match I dont have any photoshop skills but you get the gist of it. Also I cant find the rear of a black coupe.

last i checked that wasn't dark slate on the GT-R, that's carbon fiber and it just looks that way because of the angle of the pic. or at least i think so? it's been a while since i looked at the GT-R in person and i'm the only one saying its carbon fiber so maybe i'm mistaking? but i'm pretty sure i remember it being carbon fiber.

my personal opinion would be that it will look rice. sort of like a white civic with a black bumper..... will look like you got a used kit off of a dark slate car.... but thats just my opinion

Im not feelin this.. the bumper wasnt designed to look like that. If you look on the GT-R it has a defined line where it seperates the two colors and it looks like its two different pieces altogether which is why it looks good on it. I especially wouldnt paint it on the coupe if its not gonna match the cladding on the bumper where the exhaust is or if your not gonna paint the cladding too. IMO the lip and rockers would look better color matched.

Not to steal KGNickl's pics but he has the black coupe with the stillen fascia and side rockers color matched. IMO Looks sic!!
