Default advice, varis air duct on my bumper that has vertex lip/grill

Just ordered the varis air duct. Do you think it will look good on the bumper in the pic? or will it be to much stuff going on in the front? Vantage350z sold me the bumper and its now on my car


the bumper in the pic is my actual bumper. keep in mind I know have the clear reflectors and NOT the orange stock ones

You'd probably get a better response by placing it in the correct sub forum. Anyways, user ID Boneout JZA80 has a vertex lip (or Shine anyway) on his car with a Varis (errr I mean Shine replica), so you can get an idea Search his posts

if you had the whole black thing going on it would look good.....ie- black wheels, dark tint etc.

i dont like the duct on red though overall.

I'd have to agree with that.. it might stick out like a mole if you got everything in red then the duct right there in front of you..

Vantage's old bumper and lip looks so clean i'd just keep it the way it is..

It looks good!! But i wonder if it would look perfect if you got it paint matched to your car/not molded?? Would you consider doing this or has anyone else done this???

I dont think it looks bad at all. The color difference between your front bumper and the rest of the car is a lot more noticeable though. I hope its only in the pix. Thats pretty noticeable.

Thats cool, cant deny crappy lighting in pix sometimes make it seem otherwise. Nice car nonetheless.

Here you go. I just messed around a little bit with it. It is blurry because I tried to blend the colors a bit but I suck at that.
