First off, pictures
My car as it sits now with my friend's recently purchased 04 touring


Closer image of the bumper


I purposely had the guy leave the canards unpainted. For the life of me I cannot decide what color to make them. I don't want them the same color as the car because I want them to stand out, other than that I have no other guidelines other than it obviously having to look good lol.

My plan from the start was to keep the car looking completely stock, until I came across a Nismo V2 replica front bumper for $160. It was 95% perfect fitment, only reason it's not 100% is because it had no way of connecting the splash guard under the car to it so we had to drill holes. Other than that no modifications were made to the bumper. Only cost me $150 to paint so I just had to do it. Next mod's the veilside v2 underwings, after that I'm going for a chargespeed rear bumper

Anyways back to my question, what color do you guys suggest I make the canards?
Or what other exterior modifications should I do to make the canards stand out more and fit more overall with the car? Any input's welcomed

 

?

Satin

?

don't think much attention was every put into the color of carnards. Aside from it being the same color of the car or colored the same as another accent.

 

Really? It just seems like it's there to stand out, everyone I talk to about it say's to go red and put some more red accents on the car but I'm iffy about it. I don't like carbon fiber so that's not an option, I have no idea what I'm going to do with those pieces lol

 

or you can go matte black. please don't make them red though.
also who made that bumper?

 

Don't do red please unless maybe a pinstripe on the edge of it......

try out plastidip to test the waters since it's reversible or get the photoshop guys to wip something up

 

VIS Racing
Oh god no not the entire thing red, I was talking about pinstripe. But even that I think is pushing it, which is why I haven't done it yet
Yeah I was thinking plastidipping it, but what other aspects of the car should I change along with the canards?

 

that'd be it man...not much places accents/different colors work out for the Z



it gets old, so he then did this

 

Hm, might just do a matt black then. It'll match my wheels, I'll get the underwings matt black and the diffuser on the rear bumper matt black too. Guess that'll match well?

 

IMO.canards that are painted a wild accent color look terrible.
CF canards are best.But...since yours are not CF,what are other options?
Maybe try something different.Everyone seemds to do matte or OMG,
Plastidip!A real overlooked option is black wrinkle finish.It looks great,
very durable,has texture with some highlites.The best is the type used for
hi-temp apps.You must follow directions to get the finish to be even.
Also,its a slow drying paint.Needs a few days to cure correctly.

 

Black with a high metalic would be cool.

 

mag blue te37 wheels, replica varrstoens
carnards painted to match = done outside
i think it would be subtle and stand out at the same time.
mag blue roll cage, harness, steering wheel
accent done

 

judging by current wheels then maybe i should suggest ce28's to better suit your taste/style

 

Get a new bumper.

 

LOL.

 

Your car is black, just go with black. I have the same front bumper, amuse sides and black wheels. To me it'd be odd to have different color canards, however if you do eventually add some carbon fiber parts on your car then it can't hurt to get a set of carbon fiber canards

 

I like the idea, but it just seems like too much work for a result i'd most likely change after a week lol

Already looked into them, too much for my budget lol


I dislike carbon fiber with a passion lol, I probably will never have any carbon fiber on my car

 

you know, thats the 1st time i've heard someone say they dislike carbon fiber

 

Black

 

Hey where'd u get it painted for $150? I've been wanting to get mine painted for a while..

 

yeah,how about a goup paint I have a Front bumper in need of paint badly!
