Default V3 kit color selection

So front bumper got scrapped by an idiot who didn't know how to stay in their lane so I'm taking the opportunity to add a nismo v3 kit. Car is stock and a 04 touring in le mans and I love it however I'm struggling with a color trim decision. I've pretty much decided the side skirts will be solid color to match but the front bumper I'm not so sure.

Debating if the lip should also be the same (solid color to match) or black, and if black; would flat or gloss look best.

I've reviewed several images online however le mans with the kit are a bit harder to find.

Any opinions? I prefer subtle and clean so not sure which fits the bill and still will stand out in its own right.


I've attached some reference images I've found online.

Hey buddy, I'm actually going through the same dilemma as you. I had it painted all yellow first, and if I decide to do black I just come back or wrap it. (It's also easier for them that way).

Honestly it looks super clean matched, but it'll probably look even better gloss black. Matte black does not look good IMO.

Wow, super nice. Great idea about the wrap. I think it's settled then

I have a similar front bumper and went with a gloss black lip, looks much better than paint matching the entire bumper imo

I personally like the contrast of the two colors so I'd go with the gloss black. But wrapping is a good way to go too.
