Hey, after seeing Mx3speeds amazing looking car, I got to seriously thinking about copying the lower matching paint on my super silver GTR. I've done several photoshop comparo's. (not an expert, but gives an idea) My issue is that i'm not convinced about painting the front as it takes away from the matching black theme. So, I'm hoping i can get opinions from you about whether i can get away with painting the sides and back and leaving the front bumper black?? The white car looks good to me in the front, but the silver i'm not sure.

 

sorry, i meant also to say, and it hopefully is obvious....that the side pics include the whole side silver versus black versus the side front bumper left black....

 

yes, looks ALOT better and classier to boot!
Stop hesitating and do it. If I decide to grab a GTR, first stop will be the tint shop, followed by the wheel shop and then straight to the body shop. That black lower plastic really turns me off.

 

thx, one for one...here's one more pic set

 

checked into doing the lowers with vinyl....in Vancouver BC. They want 6000 to do the whole car and 3000 to just do the lowers- i've emailed back to see if he's made a mistake....yikes

 

Looks great!

 

I have a white GTR. I went back and forth on whether to paint the lowers or not for a few weeks. I finally pulled the trigger, and am 100% glad I did. It automatically makes the car look lower, as well, its a much cleaner look in my opinion.
Go for it.

 

thanks a heap for the feedback. I just got another email from the wrap dude (i questioned his price) and he misunderstood my request and i'm waiting now on the price for this. (hope) I'll post that when i know for the sake of posting....

 

Dude says can't get vinyl in super silver and said would have to paint...1100 for the sides and rear or 1300 for sides front and back....gonna shop around.

 

ps, Kevin do you have an opinion on leaving the front lip black while painting the sides and back silver-i'd pm you but i only have 13 posts.....thx

 

Dude, just paint it. It'd be much cheaper the have the lower portion painted than wrapped in Vinyl.

 

i agree 100%, except that the vinyl would have been easy to remove (so i'm told)......

 

Now that I look at the front, I would agree not to paint.

 

Thx, I'm pretty set on that now....canalways paint later....or Unpaint

 

I actually prefer the front painted. If you don't paint it, at least get a carbon front lip.
