Bought New Spoiler And Front Lip

[l_uk3y]

Hey Guys.

Just recieved my new GTR style spoiler and Front Lip and im looking for some ideas for when its painted.

Now being a silver Skyline. The standard option is to paint both parts silver. But im really keen on the idea of making the centre part of the front lip (i.e below the intercooler) Black/Gunmetal and then silver for the rest, and having the Spoiler Silver with the Black/Gunmetal blade.

Just wondering if anyone has any photos of skylines with either painted or even Carbon blades on their wings OR has a photo of a skyline with a blacked out centre part of the frontbar to help clarify my ideas. (Repainting because im not happy is too expensive). What are everyones thoughts?

Heres a pic of the very quick trial fit. Please excuse the lack of straightness, and the rear Spoiler only sticks up because it is balancing on top of the factory wing. lol. Also excuse the wheels. Got one of them "screwed" on the way home from town the other day. So the whole lot are changed back for now. grrr

Leave the front lip matte black imo, i've found that by having a coloured lip [in my case, it was burgandy] its more obvious when you scrape it. If you have a matte black lip then once a month or whenever you have the time you can just touch up the black paint with a brush and some paint.

interested inthe idea uve put out there, silver with centre bit black or carbon fibre look even might set it off nicely

post up photos if u end up doing it

you can buy carbon fibre covers for the r33 wing blade but exxy just for the look imo

I love silver cars, my first skyline was a two-tone silver and grey r33 and silver with black would look nice too

is this the look you're going for with the frontbar?

and some inspiration if you wanna go c/f wingblade/silver look

Hey. Yeah the GTT front bar is the exact concept i have in mind. And yeah. i shudder at the price of the carbon blade and end caps. I think it will look good. I guess im a bit concerned (in regards to the rear wing) about the black blade being taken as fake carbon and ricey.

Whereas my aim is simply to try and make it look sharp and trying to keep some form of originality, specially for a 33.

Reckon ill keep it on the books as something worth a try. Once its done (gimme a month) ill post some pics

do the blade matte black maybe? or get a carbon fibre coating of some sort for it?

keep us posted

well, you did buy a gtr style spoiler already so why not go with the flow...

only joking I got a gtr style spoiler for my old r34, both R33,R34 GTR wings rock!

It's the posers who put on R badges who take it too far

I completely see where you're coming from, I never built up my GT-t to try and make it something it wasn't, just wanted a clean understated but stylish look
