Painting Lip Spoiler
 
I was thinking that with my front lip spoiler being black, and having gotten rid of the black grills, etc that it might look out of place once I put it on my car. Would painting it to match the car make sense? It might chip easily, etc but it may also add a whole lot more to the car.

Any thoughts?

which lip do you have? im planning on getting the DGMotorsports
one in the next few days and will get them painted to match the
color of the body. if i can find a perfect match paint online, then
i would paint the upper part the body color (laser blue mica) and
bottom metallic gray (faux carbonfiber look) by myself. otherwise,
i expect to pay $100-150 to get it painted at a body shop.

im getting the cheaper fiberglass one.

in my opinion i dont like to see lips a different color fo the car, i think thats too much going on and its like having a kit a different color, it just doesnt look right. my vote will go to paint it the same color as ur car

Remember what I told everyone.... watch out for the fog light wiring harness! I thought I had everything under control, but ended up drilling right into it in one spot! Not a fun job splicing it back together. Just an FYI.......

Thanks for the heads-up Jim. I pick it up today fter school. How do you think it would look painted to match?

Personally, I wouldn't like it. But that's just MHO. I'm leaving mine black, as it blends right in with everything else on the car.
