I am about to get a mugen front lip and i am also about to get my car painted. I don't know if i should keep my lip black or to get it painted to match my car. I'm stuck what do you guys think will look better.

 

I'd defineatly paint it. I put a knock off ebay mugen lip on my 6th gen. It looked ok in black when i was testing the fitment but looks 10X better painted. As long as you don't scratch the hell out of it, i'd paint it. The advantage of black is an easy repaint if you scratch it.

 

Paint it

 

If it were me, I'd paint it to match the body.

 

yes, get it painted

 

There's something to be said about painting the lip a contrasting color from that of the body. Much like this:



I was thinking Black Body, red Skirts / Lip and lower bumper. Removing all chrome emblems (except the "H" Badges) and replace with red vinyl decals.

Paint it

Hey P that looks alot like a 5th gen.. was wondering if u knew whos that was and if so where they got a back lip.. i can only ever find front and sides,, never a back lip for a 5th gen..

 

That came direct from the Xenon Body Kit Listings (it's the one sitting at the body shop for spring's '97 CD7 project). Hey, it's nice, conservative and is no way as radical as say Buddy Club, Black Widow or some of the other %$^# that's out there. I've also got a hood over there and they've installed a pair of NACA scoops. It should be something a little one-off

Here's your rear lip.

id say paint it, even if it is a contrasting color to the cars paint.

 

forget that bland yellow...go for hot pink

Yeh, I understand it's the Hot Color in Hollywierd (Burbank) California as of late.

I'm telling you, my opinion of the Lone Ranger and his side kick Tonto has since gone thru a BIG reassessment.
What's the real translation of "Kemosabbie" anyway??? HUH?

it's either "let me ride you "or "I let you ride me"

 

LMAO.. like on the oscars.Tonto's got Steve's name engraved on his piece.
