I hope they make one as well. Maybe we should reach out to Carbon Signal. They did do the 2013+ front lip.

I did reach out via his thread on this forum. He merely "liked" my post about asking if he was every going to make one LOL.

Just my :twocents:

With the 2013s and up I would not black out the center.
On the 09-12s the center is recessed so there is a defined center that's why it looks good on a 09-12.
Like the 09-14 NISMOs the bottom lip juts out all the way across so, IMO, blacking out the center will mess with the lines of the bumper.

Like I said just my :twocents: :tup:

After going back and forth on the idea, this is one of the main reasons I'd leave it alone. You'd have to "mask" or "tape" a line down on either side since there's no real recession or crease to define that area like the 09-12 design.

Also, I don't trust myself with a spray can, so I'd have someone Plasti Dip or vinyl wrap it. :(

Has anyone bought this vinal front lower lip blackout piece from ebay? I like the look... wondering if anyone experienced any adverse issues after applying?

(I Google searched the subject, this dated thread is all I found)

Negative. For quality precut vinyls get it from B@t. He’s been supplying vinyls for the Z community for years.
