Default Stock Front Lip Painting?

I saw a thread about painting the front lip on the stock bumper black and had some additional question. Couple of people said they use vinyl and you can buy it from Batman? Anybody have a link to he web where I could buy it?

Default clarification

I've noticed that some z's have black painting done on the front bumper lip right below the grill. I hope this helps.

If it's an aftermarket lip, such as the Nismo lip, then you've probably seen a carbon fiber lip kit.....
If it's just a stock bumper with that little piece of black plastic(about an inch wide), then that's the aero kit that comes factory if you purchase that package. It is nothing more than a strip of plastic they add to the bottom of the bumper. It works in conjunction with the plastic aero plate mounted below the oil pan. All those parts come from the dealer.

He's talking about this:

http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=F2650-Z3300

-- The "Batman" guy is BlueBatmobile.

He offers the CF style overlay. Do a search with keywords: Bat's overlays.

Default that's it

I also hear that you could buy cheaper version than the carbonfiber ones. Do you know it by any chance?

The cheaper one is what "BlueBatmobile" sells. It's a vinyl overlay rather than a real CF piece. At least that's the only cheap one I know of to get that look.

There are 2 types of finishers:

1. Came out in Japan first and had a "Carbon look" meaning, it was not real CF.

2. Too many customers wanted real CF so Nissan Japan came with a slightly more expensive model which is "real CF". I bought this version from Courtesy parts. The fitment is not "perfect", thus I needed to add more mounting-tape to get it to stay in the right place. After all the finisher does give the stock bumper a more agressive look. Some pictures of mine and others in no particular order.

Hope this helps.
