Default 06-09 nismo front lip color

I ordered a nismo front lip for my 08 magnetic black coupe. It comes un painted in the black poly material. My question is what should I do
1. Leave it un painted
2. Gloss black
3. Wrap it In carbon fiber di noc
4. Other
I really love the look of carbon fiber I have a few carbon fiber accents and if I go the di noc route I'm gonna do some interior parts and maybe even the outside door handles.

Here is the lip he is talking about I think.

It's the Nismo Kouki lip. I believe it is discontinued now and hard to get.
Here it is painted on my car.

I say paint it the same color as the car. Don't wrap it in fake carbon fiber crap, and don't have it painted any other color black besides magnetic black. And for the love of God don't leave it unpainted.

Here is a link to an old thread about the lip.

Please don't. It only cost me like 175 to have mine painted and installed by a professional body shop.

I still want to see pics of it.

+1 on the paint over wrap, the wrap is going to look weird.

Damn that lip is nice. Definitely paint it.

Wrapping in CF = poser

Unpainted = cheap

Good price for authentic Nismo lip. It's a rare piece right now since it has been discontinued. I was told that I got the last 1 of 2 in the States last year.

And yes to getting them painted.

I hear wrapping things in CF make it lighter.


Just get it painted.
