Thinking about buying a 08 Black Nismo Z...However, i've noticed the kits on the cars arn't painted they're like an ash grey! WTF???

Can these be painted to match the car? And why arn't they? Thanks,

DJ MC

 

are you serious?

 

I haven't seen one in person so im not sure of what its made from or what color it is!

 

Need more info.

How do you know what the kits look like if you've not seen one?
Are you looking at a Nismo on a website or something?

Post the link.

 

aftermarket parts are often sold unpainted, the ashy gray color is kind of a primer, i think.
some body shops/companies that sell aftermarket parts will paint them for you as well. some people prefer to buy them unpainted and take them to their paint shop. depends on a lot of factors.

other than that, i dont know what "kit" on a nismo z you're talking about. if whatever car you're looking at has primered body parts, they're either aftermarket or something happened to the OEM parts and they were repaired but not repainted.

 

I have the Nismo front bumper cover on my car color matched, so I think you could do the same to the rest of the car.

Personally, I don't like the flat black accents, but I assume Nissan made it like that to give the car some contrast and have it stand out more as a Nismo edition. VW GTIs are the same way.

 

He's talking about the lip/sideskirts that aren't colormatched.

 

bah, forget everything i said then.

 

I would lol if it was a normal car with the nismo bodykit on it, unpainted or painted incorrectly..

 

What are you smoking? They are painted. K11 Paint code, same as the Titan smoked grey it is painted.

 

It's two tone paint for a reason.

 

 

that's exactly what i thought he meant

 

How old are you? No offense, but did you really need to ask if a body part could be painted?
