if anything, just get the CF painted.

Lip looks good though, nice job on the paint.

no, by no means no

i just copped the front lip for whenever i wanna rock it with a little jdm style vs. carbon style...

and i did enter...i went into wildest car...

no way in hell would i get the best hatch...hatch_of_doom or etc would get it...prolly jezek...but i'm just not in the same league as them...they're for a more clean look, i'm just for a wild-ish look...

I like the painted lip man, looks very good. What color are your headlights, gunmetal or black?

looks good man, i think it looks nice with the lip paint matched..did you get the paint mixed for you from an autoparts store and they put it in a spray can for you? how did you find the paint matched the color of the car? from the pics i think it looks perfect, but i want to do the same thing so i was just wondering how many cans you had to use for the lip and also how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking? thanks!!

my headlights are black...the sun finally decided to show itself today....and my dig. camera owns me...

yah...the lip is kinda awkward...im not exactly sold on it...i need to work on the fitment a little more...

for the paint, i got the paint code, whch is listed in the drivers side door jamb...closest to the trunk...it should say "color code: xxxxxxxxxx" or etc...i dunno if yours will have it or not, mine does. i told the parts place my code, they mixed it up in a rattle can. i sanded it down with all diff. levels of sandpaper (this was an ABS lip) for about an hour. i wanted to make sure good contact was made. then, i hose it off, sprayed some degreaser on it, hosed it off again. took it inside, wiped it down, and set it up on my make shift paint bench (aka two stools and newspaper). i threw down 2 coats of adhesive promotor (this will act as your flex agent...seeing as this plastic bends, it will allow the paint to bend with it and not crack. i let the promotor get tacky, then sprayed about 3 coats down, waiting 5-10 minutes between coats. i used maybe 70% of the can of paint, hardly any of the promotor....i put the coats on rather thick, but there are no run lines or etc...i got the paint + promotor for about $16

jezek, yup...sure is a nice spoiler...i got tons of peeps in my town drooling over it...=) i'll make a seperate post for that part later...

An Si grill won't fit on his car. Your car looks good but you should have had your side mirrors painted with your lip
