Hmm... So it's gray? looks like I have to paint it to black. Or plasti dip.

I agree, actually, I remember I plasti dip the bottom part of the bumper and I never taped that center piece and the color matched it anyways

The opening is a matt/semi gloss black finish. This is from the research I did for my conversions
Also there is a paint code listed in the shop manuals that I remember seeing after the fact.

Don't want to open another thread so I will just ask here. When you remove the Nismo front bumper, you take off bolts 1 or bolts 2 or both? In the pic, they(1) look like bolts but on my car they look like clips. Are those clips or bolts?

you can do either but, #1 all the way across is easiest to get it back together. Don't forget the 2 10mm bolts under the fender linerers

What he said. Remove the flat panel plastic rivets. The rivets under that. The two bolts in the fender corners. Then all of the #1's.

Gotcha! I know the fender side is same as the regular 370z. Just not sure if I need to take off the front diffuser with the bumper by taking of all the #1s or leave the diffuser attached to the undertray by taking off all the #2s. I am going to take off the headlights. So I don't mind if the diffuser is attached to the undertray.

Also, in the pic above that I found on the internet, it looks like #1s are bunch of bolts. But mine are bunch of rivets like the pic below. What's on yours?

#1 should be all bolts and removed to take the bumper off. Don't need to take any of #2 out to remove the bumper, they hold the "diffuser" to the facia
