Part of the side skirts (bottom step) are real c/f, top part needs to be painted, though. Its split down the half sort of like the V2 sideskirts.

The front diffuser is the black plastic part UNDER the car (connects to bottom engine shroud and bottom of bumper) and no, it stays black.

If you mean the bottom 'lip' part of the V3 bumper...yes, it needs to be painted. On the Nismo, it is painted almost a gunmetal color to match the c/f sideskirts. The paint code is floating around here somewhere for that part. It IS NOT carbon fiber.

Funny because every single Nismo that I have seen with "V3" sides is K11, not carbon. And the sides skirts are add ons, not full side skirts.

The side sills come in primered gray so they need to be painted k11 when you recieve them.
