Paint the Xenon lip ? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

MaD1337M3DRiV3r · 04-22-2008, 02:51 PM

So I have:

Chuki S13 SE Hatch w/ sunroof
Xenon Lip
Red color

Should I Paint:
1) Xenon Lip black with black roof
2) Xenon Lip black with red roof
3) Xenon Lip red with black roof
4) Xenon Lip red with red roof

muddafakka · 04-22-2008, 03:11 PM

I think you should leave the lip as is. I think it looks perfect in black.

s14_legend · 04-22-2008, 03:31 PM

just leave it black...

blackrms13 · 04-22-2008, 04:26 PM

red car with a black xenon lip looks really hot
black roof would definitely be a plus
and get some Time Attack style wheels to match

and ur set!

omg...just talking about it sounds so sexy...haha...maybe its just me

oh look at gripstr's car for some reference

punxva · 04-22-2008, 05:13 PM

i voted black with black roof, red and black will always look good together

ms!3 · 04-22-2008, 09:02 PM

color matched its always cool too. its your car tho.

adrians_s13 · 04-23-2008, 11:52 AM

if you dont have sideskirts, leave it black. If you do have skirts, paint it to flow with the rest of the car. I was kinda in the same predicament a while back and decided to paint it.

That looks so nice!!! I guess im going to start looking for sideskirts

hotlavaflow · 04-23-2008, 01:58 PM

I left mine black but I have a black car. I would leave it black until you get those sides. After that the color match looks pretty hot.

MaD1337M3DRiV3r · 04-23-2008, 04:33 PM

The chuki bumper looks really nice without the front plate, too bad in live in So Cal

MaD1337M3DRiV3r · 04-23-2008, 05:41 PM

For the roof im thinking either black and red checkers or the japanese flag

hotlavaflow · 04-23-2008, 06:32 PM

J-flag would look cool I have a sunroof so it's a no go for me. I got a cool design for the hood though. Hopefully I'll get it done soon.

***Post a pic of your car. It'll make this easier.***

2ilvia · 04-23-2008, 10:12 PM

dont see how the japanese war flag is gonna work with a sunroof

SHIFT_*grind* · 04-24-2008, 08:16 AM

5) Sell me the lip for 100 dolla

Seriously though, I'd say option 4.

driftage240 · 04-25-2008, 01:53 AM

my baby

with chrome wheels

or blakies

and my sig

MaD1337M3DRiV3r · 04-25-2008, 02:10 AM

I took the best shot of your car, get your silver wheels back!!

Get in the zone!!

zylvia213 · 04-25-2008, 08:06 PM

black looks clean w/ black top or black lip w/ red top looks good to.

imnotmatt1189 · 10-02-2008, 10:24 PM

color matched w/ oem side skirts looks realllyy nice.

i voted red w/ red roof

SUPERSTAR · 10-03-2008, 12:53 AM

I say paint it red with black roof and dark tint. Lip looks good when same color as car.

cxlo8331 · 10-03-2008, 12:34 PM

color match.

180sxdrifter · 10-03-2008, 01:16 PM

color match!

DRFT180 · 01-05-2009, 05:55 PM

I like mine black with the black roof. Plus it touches the ground wayyy to often for me to be comfortable painting it.

Sorry for the crooked picture

scoobyjoe · 02-04-2009, 09:04 PM

Man I want one of these xenon lips so bad!!!!!!

s142jzkillav10 · 03-16-2009, 01:09 PM

black FTW!!!!!!

punk138 · 03-24-2009, 10:37 PM

man i wish i had a xenon lip!

jrodasjr · 06-18-2009, 12:00 PM

red on red looks clean

bornslippy73 · 02-19-2010, 01:19 PM

Black on black is classic.

MF-T Vixxen · 03-10-2010, 03:31 PM

Black on black is always sexy...

Krunk_Dog · 06-22-2010, 06:15 PM
