paint the lip and the mirrors, and while that's being painted, post more pics of your girl.

PS.. the offset on your rear wheels looks weak

that aint no ctr lip. not even a ctr replica. Worst lip evaaaaaarrrr. CTR same as Si look them up and compare.

Not trying to flame you.

But since you already got it, keep it black, flows better and it'll hide the ugly on the lip. lol

im always down for the 2tone car. hell, my car is/was 2tone (black & white). silver and black is a good combo, expecially since you have the hood. but this time around i think the lip should be painted
