Default Painted Parts ... New Pictures <56K Not OK>

Tell your friend he's a biter I'd imagine my interior looks strikingly different, though.

Thanks for the compliments (and the hate) everyone.

I was going for the more "european" look .... I could have painted the lip ... but painting "SiR" lips is retarded.



Doesn't have the lip, and it has it's handles painted, but you get the idea.

the painted side skirts don't go nice with the unpainted lip. Match paint the lip or find some unpainted side skirts.

Please note that these lips were never painted by Honda and never came painted. They are meant to be unpainted.

He doesn't like the lip painted either. Honda never sold it painted and it's not supposed to be painted.

By "back" you don't mean rear lip, do you? He doesn't have a rear lip.
