Default Nismo V2 front bumper - Help me pick a color scheme

Hello,

I just found a great deal on a Nismo V2 front bumper (Shine replica) and was just deciding on what color scheme I should go with. I've narrowed it down to only two, if you guys have photos that would really help. I've seen Ghost's Red and White Z, they look great but it is carbon fiber. The one i'm getting is all fiberglass and is only the front bumper.

Schemes:
-All redline with the grille painted gloss black
-All redline with the grille and lip painted gloss black

Also, do you guys think CF canyards are too much if the rest of the body is stock?

EDIT:

I will be getting V2 wing, sideskirts and rear rear pods in the future. Also, does anyone have any idea how much lower the Nismo v2 front end is?

All redline with the inner grille painted gloss black, bottom lip is painted gloss black

I think that color scheme looks best on the V2 bumper, doesn't matter what color the car is

Saw a white z with the grill and lip painted gloss black, it looked amazing. I think it will look even better in Redline with the same scheme. Have you considered getting the inside of the headlights painted gloss black as well, that would look amazing!

It is a tough choice. It depends on what you plan to do with the side skirts. If you're going with Nismo sides and paint the lip on the V2 black then I would follow the 2 tone all the way back. If you want to do the sides in only red then I would paint the lip on the v2 red also. If you're not doing the sides at all then it dosen't matter what color you paint it. Just pick the one you like best.

+1 if you do the lip then you better do it all around.

Option 2 sounds good. The only thing that's holding me back from pulling the trigger is......

-I'm not in the best financial position at the moment but this is a phenomenal deal (400.00 painted Amuse V2!!!)

-I have a cracked differential bushing that will require attention eventually

-Even if i have a badass front end I still have these CURSED MOTEGIS!!!! lol, I want new wheels too but the bumper is a good deal.

OPTION 3:

Paint the grille gloss black BUT paint the horizontal grille bar between the two vertical ones redline. Doesn't look as good with a black lip

Option 10
black lip & all black grill, black eyelids, black side mirrors, black roof & black carbon Z emblem.
with or without canards, i'd go without.
Its not for everyone, but I think it'll would make the car look like it means business.
