color name of nismo kit?

i just got a call from bulletproof that my nismo diffuser is in
after a 4 month wait
did not know about japanparts.com at the time

does anyone know the color name for the black that is on the nismo kit?







i'm considering the entire kit but for now i wanna see how the color on my IP looks first

to me it looks like a grayish black and there seems to be sign of a clear coat on some of the pics
which leads me to think it's not just dupli color spray that most of you guys are using

yeh, it's definitely not a straight black. i had my body shop paint mine gloss black for 55 bucks.

if i were to have kept it, i would've done a semi-matte black.

+1 on the satin-black being the better option.

The NISMO parts pictured above almost look like the just have a black gel-coat on them. It's definately a little too glossy, IMO.

Let us know if the authentic NISMO rear (center) diffuser fits any better than it used to. The mold used to be too small, which left it too short to meet with the cosmetic character line (to which it is supposed to line up with). It was the top right that came up short... ...but the side could depend on how you align it. Good luck, and I hope they fixed the issue. I certainly didn't enjoy waiting 5 months for mine just to find out it didn't fit well. It was pretty obvious on my IP because I painted the diffuser satin-black. The contrast really emphasized the ill fit.

The authentic front bumper fit like a glove. VERY happy with it. I ended up going with the KarumaZ replica of the rear diffuser and, like everyone else who has, I'm really happy with it's perfect fit.

Damn, I paid $100...I got ripped. That's why I'm having them do my sides on Tuesday, haha.
