Honestly, I've never been a fan of "multi-colored" cars. Keep it the same color as the car. Even if it was a CF lip, I think it looks silly. Would you have a fender a different color? Oh wait...some people do.

paint it

that reminds me of a riced out civic with a new bodykit that doesn't fit right and isn't painted, just 3 different colors thrown on the car

S2000's were designed to be a 'clean' looking car - i think multi colour exteriors start to ugly the car up a bit, and confuse the aesthetics (not often i get to use that word). It will still look good cos it's an S, but matching paint FTW...

get everything painted one color before putting it on. It isn't like a civic or integra where the sideskirts are black from the factory and matches well with an unpainted front lip.

i think he means that the "side strakes" look like ***, so don't even bother with putting them on the car... btw they do look like ****.

oh yeah, please paint the lip
