1st and 3rd are V1's, 2nd is a V2. I'd paint the V1 lower half black and the upper half color matched. V2 full color match.

[kuhan]

yes, i meant the nismo lip kit not V2. I have V2 wing, same as the one on the second pic.

[Mr. Z33]

I think that it would flow better if you painted the kit red to match the car..just my 2 cents

[kuhan]

I got the V2 wing w/ carbon fiber centerblade and sides, and I'm planning to get the wheels in gunmetal. I was thinking 2-tone might give the car an aggressive look. Keep voting. Thanks.

I had voted black, however I will have to change my vote to gunmetal. I personally dont like color matched, I find it looks to bland. Sounds like it will look great whatever way you go. Cant what to se pics.

[kuhan]

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.

Here's what I did today. I was thinking of 2-tone (black and red) for the front spoiler and the side skirts, but the rear add-ons kind of look incomplete in black.

These are unpainted.

Like you I added body kit to my ride as well. JP Type S front chin, NISMO sides and rear and rear diffuser. All painted MAG Blk to match car.

My opinion is you stay with full red bodywork........

[dtb]

Definitely red. Too broken up otherwise.

I voted gunmetal, but after seeing the rear pieces, they don't flow well, line wise with the rear part of the side skirt. Why did "they" make the rear body section of the side skirt go that high. It doesn't flow with anytying unless the rear pieces can be made to start as high as the rear tab on the side skirt.

If the side skirt kept the same height front and rear on the body, then the rear pieces would look/flow much better. Not well thought out (on the kit makers part) IMO.

Gunmetal will add nice contrast and should accent the gunmetal wheels.

However, there is nothing wrong with going color matched and it should have a more factory appearance and be less flashy.

I'd paint it to match the car, but I've always been one for a nice clean look with everything molded together.

1st post is the right way to do it. The sides skirts are actually painted color matched(top half above the line), and black(bottom half below the line). Make sure you tell your painter.

[Hillman]

that's gonna look sexy!

Yup, that's what I told the painter. I'll post some pics after it's all done. Thanks everyone for voting.
