Default brushed aluminum front lip???

The only part of my z thats beat up lookin is the lip on the front bumper directly under the grill. I know they make carbon fiber covers for this part but nothing else on my car is CF, so I think it would look dumb. I could swear that I saw a pic of a car with a brushed aluminum looking piece (to match door handles, wheels) that covered that part of the bumper, but i have no idea where. Any help, or am i just imagining things??

I don't know of anything like that. I know that you can get an unpainted lip and then pick the color obviously you wanted to paint it. Maybe that is what what you saw?

I'm not really into CF and I know style is a subjective thing but I can't imagine a brushed aluminum version of that looking good at all.

I think it would look good! Especially on a dark car. It would tie in the headlights and door handles. And it wouldn't get knicked up like paint would.

aluminum lip is ricey it will most likely look like ****. what i would do is go with the carbon. not very expensive and looks good even with no carbon on the rest of your car. aluminum looks like crap if you dont believe me go look at the ricer 350z video on you tube.
