Talking Redline Nismo V2 kit finally ready!

Hello fellow Z'ers

After almost two weeks at the bodyshop the kit is finally ready.


I am very happy with the results but the car will be going back to the shop next week for the mesh grill.

I initially asked them to paint the middle portion of the front bumper black but for some reason they painted it entirely red.

Please give your opinions on whether I should:

Keep it red?
Paint middle black?
Paint license plate square box black?

Enjoy pics:

Option 2 is the best! Need some more contrast, but looks great nonetheless!

Plus one. The car looks awesome as it is. But black out the middle or everything but the middle bar. Look up Brandon's car to get an idea. BTW, is your kit authentic or replica?

How about a third option with black all around and red in the middle. Like this.

It might be just the lighting but it looks like it has a little Orange in the paint. Not making it real red. Did you have the whole car painted or just the kit?

Looking good. As others have already said, I would add some contrast with some black.
