How low are the side skirts of the replica from shine? I'm thinking of ordering just the sides and keeping the stock rear bumper....but I don't want the sides to look lower then the rear bumper. Thoughts? thanks

 

i have one AUTHENTIC central 20 Front bumper for sale. $500 plus ship.

 

Bubble,

I'll take it. I've sent you a couple of PM's - I know you're out of town, will contact you again next week.

Hey looks great. But if you're not happy with the paint job........maybe you should give it another shot. on the rear bumper driver's side......possibly the body shop sanded/grinded too much? We didn't notice that before.

For some reason Nissan/Infiniti paint is extreamly hard to match with the lighter colors that have pearl in them. Here is a picture of my G35 sedan with the factory body kit (which was installed one week after I bought the car new)

You can see the different shade of white and this is from the Factory !!! ... I went to Infiniti to meet with there Rep and the guy drives up in a White sedan like mine with the same body kit and the color was off on his to. He said it was because the bodykit was made out of a different material and that is why the color was off (his excuse not mine)... So even Infiniti at the factory has a hard time matching there own paint.

Funny thing is depending on how the sun hits it, it can look really close or it can look several shades off...

 

^ it's not the fault of the material of the kit. A very skilled painter can match it well. White is by far very difficult to match, but it can be done. My guy is a pro and has done white with very good results (Even used to teach paint when he worked for 3M). Some bodyshops just go by color code which is a no-no, because it doesnt account for the elements/sun, etc.

 

so how do you know if someone is a skilled painter or not? Most shops I know go by color code with 3 or 4 different shades to choose from.

Also, on white cars.....I often notice oem bumpers not matching metal fenders.

 

I guess just ask. But seriously, go by ppl's recommendations...or ask alot of questions, etc.... shops that go strictly by color codes or a cookbook is not the way to paint. Really good painters wil mix their own batch to account for all variatons to get that perfect match.

 

interesting.

 

we like doing our own prepwork, but we would like to find someone who can match paint very well. We can even spray it ourselves if we have the color correct.

 

yeah the oem bumper vs fender on my 06 ppw is about a 95% match.
i guess how the paint adheres to metal vs poly ???

 

Has the fitment problems been corrected for the rear for future kits? If so has anyone bought one recently? Also how is the fitment on the rear wing?

Thanks
