Wow, your gaslid looks like it came off a CS and from the looks of it you have a SS! Looks good w/o the cannards, but I think I'm gonna still rock mine, I also might steal painting the center CS, looks hot. I must know how the fitment was thought! Car looks hot.

Guys. take a minute instead of lookin at just the body kit paint and look @ the rest of the car..

none of the panels match if u really LOOK at it. so the paint may not be THAT off in person.

car looks good man, if u cant notice it that much then dont worry about the respray!

ok, usually i cant tell when paint matching is off by just looking at photographs but this time its different. looking at the straight on shot front the front, it almost looks like you have a two tone theme going with the hood being much darker then your bumper. i would be a taking it in for a repaint. its gonna look very nice once its fixed.

i actually like the plain look of just the front bumper alone. paint is a shade or 2 off, though.

It looks like the paint code was from chrome silver and you have a completely differeent color. It's awful sorry to say. Take it back right away.

Just my opinion. The additive they give the paint for flexibility on the bumpers also drops some brightness on the color, which makes it lighter.

+1 that's exactly what my body shop guy told me too. Paint color on plastic != paint color on metal. I actually don't think it looks that bad, but they could probably match it better.

I actually like that better with your mods than how it comes from factory. Def. ask for a repaint though, that sticks out like a soar thumb.

Kit looks great on your car. Was it ever in an accident though? The wing doesn't match the trunk, trunk doesn't match roof, front fender doesn't match the doors or is it just the pics? Not dissing, Im just very detail oriented and pay special attention to small details.

Bumper is perfect compliment to the Z. Love the wheels and drop. I think some Nissan OEM Mudflaps or Veilside underwings would make this one of the sexiest Zeds out there.

EDIT: Thank you for removing those ugly a ss Canards.
