What's the craziest color you have painted your 03-06 sedan?
That's a stock aero (nismo) bumper lip. From what I remember, he used to have the Sportec rear as well, but it was destroyed in a rear end collision.
Looks nice, but it looks the same as the stock black color? Maybe it's just the picture though.
Why didn't you have them paint the bottom moldings while you were at it?

If you are gonna change the color, do it right and do EVERYTHING. Nothing looks cheaper than opening the door or trunk or hood on a nice custom painted car and seeing the door jambs or the engine bay the same OEM color. IMHO it kills resale value.
Now, what would I like to do?? I'd like to see a sedan painted the same bright red that the coupes come. I was disappointed to find that wasn't available, but is not on the 07+'s. Every time i see a bright red 07+ sedan, i drool. Red + graphite interior = hot. However, i'm not pulling my engine, door panels and trunk apart and ponying up the $5000-8000 to reshoot the car red....so OB my car stays.

If you are going to color change your car and not paint the engine bay, only use a black car since it doesn't look bad when you open the hood and the engine bay area is black. Opening the hood of say a red car and seeing a green or blue engine bay would just be wrong!
Yeah, you really do need to paint the all the jams and the engine bay or it will look funky! Getting around a lot of the engine is possible with the engine in. Just gotta remove stuff and bag the engine. Helps if you can do the work yourself at the bodyshop. hahahha
My car is in the middle of a project – and without going into detail, I’ll just say now would be a good time to do a color change (if I were ever to do it)… but I’ve had a hard time finding a color I like so much better than DG… I’m leaning toward keeping DG.
… and I think maybe am not supposed to talk to you 
Okay I’ll call you later
… for the record – if I were to do a color change other than a different shade of grey, it would have been some version of electric royal blue, I’ve always liked that color and have though of it on other cars in the past (well one car and one truck)… but there are too many blue Gs and FX right now, so no on blue
