you plan on keeping them painted black?

they dont come painted, and honestly I think you should paint them redline. The only case I would differ from this stance is if they were cf.

I like this lip though, i'm buying another one to replace the one I've destroyed on my car.

I have had that front lip for about 4 years. The fitment was so-so but, since my car is black, any gaps are not really noticable. On your car, the gaps at the sides may be more noticeable. I also had an issue with the center not matching up quite right. Maybe they have addressed these issues recently. G/L

I had that same issue with the center piece, also the right side didnt sit completely flush with the bumper. there was a slight gap. this could probably be fixed with a heat gun and bending it though.

Are you planning to paint the skirts and bumper as well?? Just trying to figure out what you are thinking so I can give you good advice ( wouldn't want to steer a Z brother in the wrong direction!!)

A little OT, but did you look at any CF pieces since you intend to keep it black/unpainted?

let me know how the fitment is, I need to buy a new one and if its good i'll buy from them

but like i said before. go red. I didnt have my lip paint matched, just used the color code and becuase of its location you couldnt see any difference, just that it didnt have the little rock chips the rest of the bumper did. I think you'll be ok without the color match, just make sure to use the right code.
