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.

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.
