What is with you and that red?? Now you want a red front lip? I dunno man, at least it's different but I wouldn't flame you for it. You do what your vision on how you want the car to look. Who knows, maybe you might start a new thing. I doubt painting your lip red is it though.

i'd say no, unless u were gonna do it like anhedonia said, but then it would make ur wheels look smaller which u might not like

You could make it work, but I'd worry about fixing your paint first

I guess when I said repaintinG my lips, you thought my rim lip, but I'm repainting all my lip kit. Molding the gap In the rear. The pinstripe on the wheel was just me messing around.


Ninja, no, I'm not painting my front lip red hahahaha

I'd probably say no to that, but I'd have to look at the whole color scheme of your car.

I would suggest painting the "A" emblems on the hood and trunk red as well. It would look hot with your scheme. Keep it up, I like where you're taking your car.
