Nismo94tuner has photoshoped the lip on my car and i wanted everyones opinion on if i should leave it black or paint it green? I have new lights *** so take that into consideration pic at bottom
I say Black lip. Go green and you scrape, it'll show. Go black and you scrape, put some Armorall on it and it looks like new again. Just my opinion. "HOLLA"

i agree with all u guys, if ur going to paint it paint it black and only like two light coats to make it really clean. but if its already mint leave it black.
trust me u will scrape and if and when u do if its green ull be kicking your self in the ass. ive been threw 3 lips lol.
A green lip will flow better. To me, if you have a green car, black lip, orange corners, and the color of the headlights, it's too congested. If you perform the proper paint prep before you paint the lip, you shouldn't get any/much rock chips.
dude i know all about prep.......the lip he has im selling to him ive had it for around a year now and tried all kinds of ways to paint it without it chipping...........its gonna chip from tiny little rocks weather on the road or highway........Thats just how it is..........Plus the kind of plastic it is, even with good prep, it will still chip away...............
just to get by - when i send it to u, u can try and paint to it match.....See if it works... if not just sand it down and paint it black.......u wont see any chips in black
oh yea when i had som1 photchop the lip on my car red to make it match, it looked to much bettter than black........the color matching does look tens times bettter but depending on ur driving, it wouldnt hold up to long............give it a tried..........give it a good prep, couple coats of paint and plenty of clear to help prevent chipping
Paint your car black. With a black lip, you'll get your flow.
lol, now there's an idea!
I personally would keep the black because I like the contrast. If you do decided to paint it do so, and then maybe use that clear 3M film to cover the whole thing. The 3M should prevent it from chipping.
