Nope, the genuine NISMO kit does not come prepainted. However you may have seen posts where a replica kit was made and painted to match your car's color.

It is white (not PPW mind you, it's just white). You need to have it painted.

Mine was cracked in transit from Japan. IT was fixed nicely though and you can't tell at all. This is one of the pics I'm sending to the insurer to get reimbursed but I posted it so you can see what the kit looks like when you get it.

Wow i didn't know that the real nismo is made of fiber glass too! Well i guess the only issue is the fitting part huh? From what i seen so far the kit's isn't really well made don't know if getting a kit is a good idea now. Thanks for sharing the info!

Yup, looking for a kit to complete the look! Really like the nismo but heard a few problem with shipping and fitting. But I think i can find a good shop to fix any of those problem. Will post up as soon as I'm done. I fact of picture, i'll make a video!

Just to clarify, the real Nismo doesn't have too many fitment problems, it should fit quite well... The replica, however, will take some fabricating to make it fit correctly... However in the end both will work.. What it kind of comes down to is do you want to wait 3 months for a real Nismo kit or get a replica quicker but pay more for the install and custom fabrication to make it fit right? In the end the price will be about the same... I got impatient and went the replica way..
