Default so i bought a used lip painted black

well i had a (second) greddy lip mishap. after 2 greddy lips, i will not be going back, thank you very much trust incorporated.

anyhow, i am wondering if i should paint this new lip... i was fully intending on it, but when i put the lip on, i thought it looked half decent. only catch is it looks really funny from a dead on side shot.

opinions?

it doesn't look to bad, but i see what your saying, it does look a little funny from the side and angled shots...maybe try painting it before you take it off...then make your decision

Dont paint it, it looks perfect

One suggestion though, Id get a rear lip and paint paint that black or get c/f, would set the rear off

it doesn't flow imo. you could paint the side skirts black too to make it flow a little better.

I like the lip unpainted for some reason. Just keep it shiny.

Oh and nice spot. I love that building.

looks decent not painted but it would probably look wayyy better painted. I also like how you painted the middle of your rear bumper black...looks good like that.

Paint the whole thing.

If it was CF, you could get away with it. If your sides were also black, you could get away with it. But since neither of those are true, it would look best if color matched.
