Keep Civic Si's lip black, or paint it Milano red?
Here's the story. I painted the lip satin black as a temporary fix for a big nasty scratch. Soon I will be getting my dent on my trunk fixed and Im not sure if I should keep the lip black or return it to stock. Your opinions are welcome, thanks.

I think it looks really good black 
It makes it look more aggressive to those who know what to look for, and more stock to those that don't know wha they are looking at. I didn't think I would like it with the 99-00 lip, but I do. I would keep it black. And CTR light would finnish off the look.
Here is mine for comparison:

Even though I really like the look of the black, I am still leaning towards repainting it the stock Red. Somehow the front end looks alot lower and sexxier with it red. I guess i'll sleep on it.

If your side were still black Id say leave it, since they are color matched Id say color match the front lip.

I agree , you need more black to leave it ( ie:cf hood , jdm side moldings, or vision/spoon mirrors) if you are gonna get one or some of those things leave it black if not paint it MR
