Default PIC Request

Hey, I've been thinking about painting my grille and bottom center of the bumper (the piece that lines up with the grille) flat black. I've searched this site and the web but could not find any pictures of it on a black Z. If any of you have a picture of that on a black 350, please post it up here.

Thanks.

Your car is already black. Grille (fins) are already flat black...

I dont think anyone with an already black Z has spent the money to paint an already black section of the bumper flat black.

But I could be wrong.

I don't want to do it and risk it not looking good lol. Maybe I'll be able to get some one to photoshop it for me.
Thanks guys.

kinda pointless imo. let your front end get pretty dirty, and then wash it nice n shiny EXCEPT for the part in question, and that should give you a decent actual idea of it flat black.

^^ YA I might do that this year too. I have a huge rock chip in the grill and I think it looks good.
My Z is red though..

Yeah, but like others are saying, my main concerns are it not being noticeable or not looking good.

I've been looking for a nice looking lip for a while. I just can't bring myself to pay 500-1000 dollars for a thin little bumper add on. I've seen some inexpensive lips, but they stick out too much and make the car look like a snow plow lol.

I think you're looking more for a k11 paint.
