Nope never even considered it, painting them black reduces the cooling capacity alot. In pictures you lose some detail i have never had anyone that knew anything about cars think they were billet grills before.

I never took the pictures and I have no idea what camera he uses...his name is Jon Sylvester and he goes by Rockets on flicker if youre really interested. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonsylvester/

The barrels used to be paint matched now they are polished.

lol oh yea i'm familiar with his work, he has a canon 5d mark II....big baller camera

sylvan: what are the two things on your bumper where it meets the fender? slick ride.

i'm bout to post some pics up...but she's only a work in progress.

It's a quick disconnect so he can take his bumper off fast..

Correct, I snagged the bumper a couple times unloading it from a trailer and it kind of screwed up where the bumper/ fenders meet so it makes loading unloading much easier with the bumper off. It is also handy if an intercooler pipe pops off you can get at it easily with the bumper removed..

polished lips look great sylvan !!

I am happy with the way they turned out, i was pretty hesitant at first but I am glad i polished them

from this

I need a dg nismo!!! Arggg

You WANT a nismo **

You had one.

Sylvan: i hope you didnt think i was dissing your car by all means. Also your car looks sex with the polish lips.

No i get what youre saying, lots of cars I would get the IC anodized black but not this one with this bumper.

I was looking at getting a G37 and going TT, I would have anodized that black and went more stealthy.

Cars lookin sick Sylvan...

Agree about the polishing....

Polished looks better!!

sylvan can you send me any info on the quick release for the bumper? i have the same problem with connecting bumper to fender. thanks!

I IS NO MORE DG!!! =(
