Default Just *set* on my CF V1 lip!! (pics)

Alright, check out what I found on my porch when I got home from work today!!! I love it! Looks awesome, fit is a little tight but seems like it shouldn't be a problem once I have a bodyshop install it. Right now it is sort of just resting on the bumper, its not actually installed.

Here is my questions to everyone: Do I paint the sides of it DB to match and leave the center CF or just don't paint any of it????







Thanks for looking/feedback.

Well it is definitely tight, and there is a small gap between the lip and the bumper on the passenger side due to this. But it seems minimal enough that the body shop could make it work no problem.

Carbon Fiber is not my cup of tea, I like my car to be all one color. But thats only my opinion.

Still looks sweet buddy. Snap some more pics when its all together.

this is true... i just got the idea to paint the sides from the picture of the red one in the signature on .... i think its the performance nissan guys... could be someone else... i cant remember who. I think it looks nice with the center all black... has an aggressive look, but that is also with a body colored hood.

Yeah, I dont think I will paint it. Avalon Racing hooked me up with this lip. The CF weave doesnt match perfectly... the veilside is a VERY tight weave and its straight against the lines of the car.... straight back and to the sides... whereas my varis duct and hood have a little bit less tight weave and angled weave instead of straight... I will see how it all looks once it's installed by the shop.... as of now though, I really like it, it looked so awesome sitting on the car!
