Default Getting a Black Lip

I'm tired of trying to keep my white lip white - all the cones I hit doesn't help. I thought a black lip would do a great job of hiding all the scuff marks (and look cool at the same time) - but I don't want to paint mine.

How much do used ITR lips usually cost?

I saw two in the classifieds recently. They were $150 and $165. Neither were black... that's just the prices I've seen.

Get a yellow one, I also think it'd be a lot easier to find used.

why not just take the lip off when you race? black lips look like you have no lip at all. just my 2 pesos.

It doesn't have to be black - I don't have a problem painting a used one black as long as I still have my CW lip tucked away somewhere...

IMO, black lips are fugly on a CW. Just stop hitting cones

I'd rather beat the hell out of a front lip than a front bumper.

I don't think he's doing this for aesthetics either, so he doesn't care what it looks like.

The stock lip is functional. Downforce is good

They make carbon fiber ones. Carbon fiber may not be cone hitting material though.

you can buy one, new, from acura ... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net/...IES+-+EXTERIOR
