depends. you'll never have a perfect match to your bumper in regards to paint. if the lip is already painted, chances are you'll end up getting it painted again because it doesnt match. I say go w/ the unpainted and get a trusted paint shop to match it for you. gonna cost a chunk more though.

I had a performance shop do mine for $60. They don't sell the M3 lip in NGM. They used the paint code from my door and a special flex agent since the spoiler is made of polyurethane rubber, and then hit it if with clearcoat. Well worth it cos it's a very close match.

I bought one of the 60 dollar ones awhile back for my SSM TL, and didn't repaint it. The match looked pretty good to me.

Nice pics. I couldn't find one in NGM anywhere, ebay or otherwise so I had to have a blank one custom painted.
