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

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

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?

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