Hi guys,

I just purchased my nismo bumper and going to be getting it soon! (cant wait actually). I am also going to be painting my OEM grille black (see attached picture)

1) Does anybody know what sort of finish of black is painted on the grille?

2) I was also thinking of painting the vents black, not sure which finish? Should it be glossy looking like the grille? Please advise! Can somebody chop it really quick?

 

i f**kin love the nismo im debating whether or not to do paint the ducts blacks too i have a IP so i know it would look sick but i like it w/out the painted ducts too
here is some that have the painted ducts

make sure when you get the bumper painted to have the painter paint the 2 inlet openings flat black from the inside, that would look killer imo!

 

matte or glossy would depend on what other mods on the exterior...which ever you decide just make sure they match...i just saw a gloss black grill and matte vents and it made me wanna cry

 

can i please get more input, it sucks that this post is in the body exterior section and i am worried nobody is viewing it

<bump>

 

The nismo bumper looks so fvcking sweet on silver coupes!!! If only black wouldn't hide body kits. Instead it shows scratches and hides body kits...

guys, we all know the nismo bumper looks great! (thats why i got it too! lol), but please if you could keep your answers more focused on my questions 1) and 2), i would really appreciate it! was anybody able to come up with a quik chop?

 

^^^ the grill in the pic you originally posted is def. gloss black...most nismo painted ducts i've seen have been matte black, sooooooo i say you paint them gloss to be different....OR shell out for the CF inserts...nonetheless here's another pic w/ painted grill & ducts

 

i don't have a nismo front, but have gloss black overlays on the sport bumper and a gloss black grill




and an older shot without the gloss black vents and a nicer shot of the grill

 

can somebody plz chop the original pic in my post (one w/ lp coupe and nismo bumper)

plz chop up the vents to be the same color as the painted grille. thx really wud appreciate it!

drewthesuit-thanks a lot of posting these pics!

 

 

lol thx!

i managed to chop the vents up, but the paint still doesnt match to that of the grille

 

What take the rectangular marquee tool and copy and paste the vents i chopped into place? lol I did a crappy job on a couple of those corners, some how you messed up on the same ones :P

 

well actually i did the chop using paint
i dont have ps

 

The paint in the last picture around the vents on the bumper is the matte black right? I think the gloss would look better, not sure what I think about the grille being gloss black though yet, very debatable for me right now lol.
