I like the flat black. Find something else to primer and then throw some clear on it just so you have something to look at before you make a decision.

Also, do you guyz think i should put clear on it or should i just leave it the flat black??? i think the clear would make it look nicer but i also like the rugged look of the flat..

I think i will leave it the flat black, but on the headlights(since my car is brilliant silver) should i paint them silver or do them flat black like G35PAPA..i ain't trying to bite no ones style just asking for opinions...

I wasn't the first to do it Gee so no worries, you're not biting anyones style.

Really depends on what theme you are going for. If you plan to keep the grille flat, I say do the headlights flat as well. Especially if you plan to get the Nismo front end. The openings on the front are a sort of flat/satin black as well. I think the flat black really stands out on the BS color. We also did a BS coupe the same day. Looks great

Nice!!! i actually plan on getting Klumzyee's new front bumper and side skirts when they become available...i also plan on getting some new wheels in the next month and i'm thinking that if i have the grille black and headlights black i will probably get blackface wheels with chrome lips..that should blend great.

That sounds like a good plan Gee. Add a black roof while you're at it
