Black lips aren't technically "painted". The plastic is a black color.

black

I don't care much for color matched moldings. Though it can look nice on the right car/paintjob.

Then apparently it's been painted. All the plastic body pieces come unfinished black from the factory, including the whole bumper covers.

paint it the same color. looks so generic to have a lip that doesnt match your car if you have mostly painted parts. you have an ex it looks like..paint the sides and lip. trust me..it will flow much better. if you have a fake type r lip you should have saved your money
