Ceejay29 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) So the car is at the bodyshop for a bit of work and I can't make a decision on what colour to spray the side steps. The car is GM with black alloys, adding a black mines lip and refurbing the door handles in, yes you guessed it, black! Future mods will be to include a black roof wrap and installation of the Chargespeed rear (which we all know has a black element to it). Black I hear you all scream, but I keep swaying between black and colour coding. The colour coding vision is based on Busters beast. What do we think and do any GM owners have examples of both options? Thanks Edited June 18, 2014 by Ceejay29 1 Quote
Scott TMN Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I have gunmetal with a v2 bumper and a black lip, and despite this I still went with C/C it. Very pleased I did. Many argue you the black steps to match the black lip. Quote
Ceejay29 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 Sounds nice, do you have a build thread? Curious as to what it looks like. Fairly certain I have a day or two to make a decision. Quote

He does and it's linked in his signature. This one; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/68764-scotts-project-zed/ It's a tough decision but I'd say black, ....no wait, GM, ...I have no idea. Both would work. 2 Quote
jumping350 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 im going black with mine (its blade silver car though) as everything else like yours is black so thought it would tie in with the theme better Quote
KyleR Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 No question - BLACK! Scotts doesn't have black handles or diffuser on the rear like yours will have, so it's a little different. A black line flowing around a lighter coloured car looks great 2 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Just had a look at Scott's and it is very impressive indeed; A fine example. It actually popped up on google supporting the colour coding. Hmmm.... Quote
Payco Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I have a GM, with black side steps. Which I personally prefer. Payco Quote
pjf1985 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I'd go with black too! Will all flow nicely if you match your side steps with the rest Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I lift my side steps black whey looked nice with the blue car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ceejay29 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Yes I think in will go for black, thanks for the suggestions guys Quote
LRF4N Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 If you can't decide how about carbon dipped as a compromise? Mix it up a bit 1 Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Or you can order real carbon ones now at £299 a set 1 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Would love carbon ones! Car is a bit low for legit carbon, could head down the dipped route in the future Quote
GMballistic Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Would love carbon ones! Car is a bit low for legit carbon, could head down the dipped route in the future I'd bet at least 95% of people wouldn't know the difference between real carbon fibre and a dipped version anyway. Quote
Payco Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Mine were FRP from Tarmac and I had zippypooz carbon wrap them. Cheaper and look the part.. 1 Quote
Ceejay29 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 How do they match up with your carbon lip? Quote
Payco Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I'm my opinion,very well.Will try and take a photo for you sometime this week.. 1 Quote
