I have it, will get it back from the paintshop next week, though i might wait to put it on until i have fitted my headers, exhaust and new suspension which is booked at my garage about 2 weeks from today.
I'll post pics and info once i have it installed

I wanted to run it with the lip and grill area black and was wondering what color the fiberglass is.

As its FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) it has a plastic primed surface and finish which is complely white and sanded, its kind of "soft" so it can easily be sanded in case there should be any un-even surfaces or scratches before painting. So you need to paint the whole thing regardless of what color or combination you are going with. There are edges where you can put the crossover between colors if you want to have the grille in a different color.
Im VERY exited to get the car done within the next few weeks, ive spent every cent i could invest during the past 8 months on it, so im kind of hoping it will turn out ok!

i think you made the right choice by going red in the grill area. the mesh grill will contrast good and imo the blacked out look only works well when the rest of the nismo kit is painted flat black like the lower sections.
i bet you are excited. cant wait to see your detailed pics!

On may 8:th i will have my garage install my strup headers, HKS exhaust and KW coilovers adjusted to a propper height for looks and performance. The bodykit and wing is planned to be installed as soon as possible after that (by myself), so during that week night time or the weekend, meaning latest by Sunday may 14:th everything should be on the car and there should be some propper info and pics here!
