Default Going Nismo v2 Bumper. Need opinions

Guys, what color scheme should I go with? I have a 03 Chrome silver. I know it is personal
preference but what to know what you guys think. For sure the middle part where the mesh goes will be painted black.

1) No Canards, Lip and Nismo Skirts painted Black.

2) No Canards, Lip and Skirts painted Chrome Silver

3) Canards painted black, Lip and Nismo skirts Chrome silver.

4) Canards painted Chrome silver, Nismo skirts black and Lip Black

5) No black, everything Chrome Silver.

OTHER OPTIONS ARE WELCOMED !!!

Everything silver would look more aggressive. 2 tone looks nice too...

What sideskirts and rear lip/bumper are you getting.

I like the black lip on the bumper, but not a fan of the 2 tone on side skirts. With and without canards, just a matter of how aggresive you want it to look. IMO if you have a race type wheel do canards, if you have a bling wheel go clean.

Thats true, Im actually rolling on 35th anniversary wheels
just because I like them a lot. Im basically just getting
my ideas from how they had the Nismo S-Tune painted, but im going
without the Nismo graphics/Decal

Not sure on the name of the side skirts, but I believe they
came with the Nismo S-Tune Z. Rear will be Chargespeed CF Bumper.

the theme on the wihte always looks hot. others are nice, but i feel like its somehow boring.
adding some different accents is always good

It's a plan then lol. I was thinking Chargespeed Rear since it is nice and
comes with a CF Diffuser or Nismo Rear Add ons with a nice diffuser.

Maybe even Nismo V3 rear bumper.

I agree, a white Z looks so clean with anything you throw at it.

Really like those two Silver Zs up there. I just dont know what color to execute on the Lip and Side Skirts.

Black Lip and Black Skirts, Black Lip and Chrome Skirts, or just all chrome silver

I like the 2 tone setup, but I'm biased.

I like the canards. I've had 2 bumpers and kept the canards. The first bumper had CF canards, the current one is all white.

The 03 chrome silver has different shade than the one came for 06 and up, which they called it diamond silver if I'm not mistaken. The 03 one looks a bit off and old.

So maybe if you add the black accent to it, it will makes it lil bit fresh.

Anyways, you can always change from whatever setup you will choose to another, coz it's only paint, unless you are getting the bumper with CF lip

Good luck
