My car is Silver Alloy and I'd like to paint the front bumper silver with the grill and lip portion black. Not sure if I want to run the black along the skirts and rear lip. I've attached some pics of my in it's current state.

Suggestions welcome...

you need clear reflectors for your nismo bumper! It'll look super clean with sliver alloy!

I mean I'm not judging. It's just an interesting first observation.

Yeah bro I've been going back and forth. I'm pretty sure I'm going two tone on the the front bumper. The grille and lip matte black. I'm going to leave the sides Silver with the rear bumper being painted matte black around the centre potion of the rear add on to balance the with the front bumper.

do it all silver, i think the front bumper with silver and black would look out of place with the sides and rear all silver, cleaner the better is my opinion anyway. GL with the build tho.

Thanks for the input... I've considered all silver but I'm not a feeling the V3 bumper all one tone. Other option is to two tone the sides Silver and Matte black.

Does look pretty sweet and something to consider... The good thing is that my car will not be going in for paint for another two weeks. I'll probably do some Photoshoping. My painter seems to really like my scheme and he has a lot of experience with show cars. I'm also considering more of a matte Gunmetal(same color as the inner portion of my volk GTFs)instead of black.

Decisions... Decisions...

Thanks for posting up the pic.

I like that set up but the Nismo V2 sides won't flow with the rest of the cars new found awesomeness... I'd really consider the V3's personally.

I'm going to prove you wrong Joel The V2's will flow really well with my rear add-on. The good news is there's a market for USDM Nismo sides at the minute...
