Thank you. Unfortunately with black, I dont think I have an option of a accent color besides maybe the k11 nismo gray. Any pics of your car?

Must have black accents, and I think it would look better if I had painted the middle (fangs) black also. I'll have to see what it looks like coming down the road.. Can some one photoshop that part black 4 me?

I think maybe an outline of black on the vents. The fangs blacked out may make the bumper look like its smiling instead of being aggressive. IMO.

did you ever paint this? would like to see how it turned out. i kept mine all one color but am now debating on paiting the vent "shadows" black... plus i still have to get the diffuser:
how hard was it to install the diffuser anyways? i've seen the photos of cutting it, but i still can't imagine how to put it on. (oh and i know my hood is facked up)

Well, from what Ive seen around, you dont HAVE to cut it, but if you dont, its going to hang down pretty low.

we test fitted it. the back of the bumper prevents you from mounting it without cutting the bumper.
