or black rims with a chrome lip would work out.

all depends on the look your goin for with your car. When my car was gunmetal my WW lip was black + all the stock lips were black and i loved it. Now my car is red and i painted the lips all red to match the car & it looks

So i can't really say which way to go, all depends on the look you want

hahaha black and white. what youve said holds true to your name. paint it white or youll look like some retarded ricer. body parts are supposed to match, if your going two tone, at least do it right. not painting individual parts.

the lip comes black, why would you pay to paint it black? Just paint it white, or it will stand out horribly, especially if you're not getting black rims, cuz it won't match anything

k well i went to body shop today and getting it painted white. Ya i was thinking about how my other sides and back come in black should i take that out or get it painted white also. The guy said i could paint the sides and the black for 300. So i'm getting it painted and installed for 170 is that any good cuz i went to this other place first and they were charging like 350 for double sided tape on and mounted for 550 is that seem high?
