Match the lip to the rest of the car since the car has painted trim, mirrors and license plate garnish.

Oh, and punch your friend for being a greedy dick.

With the side color matched, definately paint the lip. It it were like a Sol and had the black plastic side trim, I would say to leave it black (unless the trim had been painted to match). It just looks cleaner if you match it to the look of the rest of the trim. If the trim is painted - paint it.

Btw, in case you don't already know, that front lip was standard on the '99-'00 Si (EM1) and the '99-'00 Type R (EK9). It was optional on other coupes in the US and other trims outside the US.

So if you find a stock Type R (NOT Type R Style) lip then it's the same.
