Ok, so a full set of JDM aero spats come up for sale on Import Monster, and i noticed the auction had 20mins remaining, so in a impulsive frenzy, i placed a bid, and won them. Not cheap, but cheaper than new from Japan Parts at least..($425 from JapanParts).

So while i wait for JDM Santa to bring me my goods, i have the dilemma of what colour to go.

It will either be Matte black to match the wheels (gloss), front lip, and grille (both matte). Or, it will be silver, to match the body.
Here is your guys chance to make your suggestions!

Personally, im leaning a fair bit more towards colour coded.

Silver - Photo borrowed from internet some where?

DAMN so that's what a colour coded sti lip looks like in my car colour...

The colour coded spats look hot! and I am a big fan of the colour coded lip in fact.

Makes me think....

My vote goes to colour coded silver.
I was going to go black with my aero spats but decided against it because it's too Gen3-like

[jslayz]

Dammit, looks so good I'm thinking about it......

there was a picture on here a while ago that someone with a white wagon colour coded their lip white. it looked scheiße haus!

Color coded lip = bad.
Color codes spats/strakes = good.

Decided im definitely going to colour code them now.. But damn that colour coded lip looks good too!

Id hate to paint the genuine lip, so maybe in the future ill get a replica and paint that..

But next item on the wish list is a xforce dump pipe! If you have a used one your selling, hit me up!

I agree the colour coded lip looks great. I think it works well with the GTB font bar.

I would only color code the lip on a black car.

IMHO, on silver it looks shit.

Same with the aero splash guards. I didnt like them in black at all. Although I didnt mind the front one matched in with the lip.

My rear ones are currently at the painters with my JDM rear bar.

Got to love Jap post. My spats were posted by IM at 4:22pm on Thursday. They are now in Sydney waiting delivery on Monday. Fkn awesome service!

JDM Santa visited me this morning with my spats first time using IM and I am very impressed.
Will try get to Autobarn tomorrow toget some paint.

[Prezza]

Well i got to painting the spats today as some of you already know.

This is how they came, painted white, direct from Japan.




Took then, gave them a goo sanding back to clean up some grazes, and prepare the surface for primer and filler.



Primed and filled.



Got my paint mixed up at Autobarn. Their spray can machine is broken, so i had to get it mixed into a tin. Bought 250ml, but only used about 100ml.
Hard to tell in the photos, but the paint looks to be a great match to factory. Got them to mix me 'C6Z' as per the trim plate.




And finally, clear coated. Ill be letting them dry overnight, and then giving them a light wet sanding, and a final polishing.

Nice job.

You just need the one in front of the rear wheels.........
