Advice pls: Should I paint the vents of the nismo front bumper in black?

I have an Ivory pearl coupe. Also I have the kenstyle rear
so would it be a good idea to match the black part of the rear by painting the front vents in black?

Thanks

nope, you shouldnt. at the risk of looking like paranormal, you should leave the front and paint the rear white to match. much better look IMO.

Personally I would paint the vents in the front bumper black. I would also match the middle portion of the rear bumper black as well. It all comes down to personal preference.

Do what YOU think would look best and not what others think.

Yeah do what you feel would look best. I have the KS rear as well, I'm straying a little from the norm too, not painting it black, not painting it white.

Stay tuned for pics when I put it on.

I'm in the same boat, drtech. I'm still waiting on my Nismo bumper to arrive and I'm still debating if I should paint the vents black or not. IP coupe as well. I may have the furthest recesses of the vents painted black, with the IP wrapping around the corner/edges and into the vents. I don't really want to paint the entire vent piece black.

IMO, if you are going to paint the vents black, then you should have black accents throughout the car.

For IP, go with the black vents, black rear bumper part, black out headlight housing, black spoked wheels with polished lip, and dark tints.

I think it would look pretty good, especially if you have your rear difuser black too.
