Painted / Vinyl'ed Bumper Ducts
 
Hey - I have seen this a few times, I believe on a DG and an IP, I am looking for pics of a non-sport bumper coupe with the ducts painted, plasti-dipped or vinyl overlay'ed.

I am getting a front lip soon and have seen the sport bumper have the ducts painted, just wondering how this would look on a non-sport bumper.

What color is your car?

Not really a fan on the OEM bumper, I like it on the nismo though.

my car is brilliant silver, 5% tint, gialla grill, bluebat headlights, thought painting the ducts might set it off a bit, especially with the colormatched lip. haven't seen it on the OEM bumper but thought i might give it a shot if i could see some pics..

go on blue bats site he has pics of it on a oem bumper. the mod looks better if u have a lip imo

I have a BS with painted ducts and a home depot lip. I agree that it looks better with a lip or an addition of some type. The Nismo looks way better with the painted ducts.

^hmm not bad. hey syko wat kind of lip u got?

sykoenigma Apr 4, 2011 03:36 PM

i got an n1 lip, and i'm getting it painted BS to match the car. not a big fan of keeping it black or having a CF lip on a silver car.

nico_oner ..what did u do about the mesh behind ur inlets, that looks really good! did u just paint them gloss black or what?
