WDP painted grille and fully painted aspec front lip (no grey)

Had to get my bumper replaced and went ahead and had the entire thing painted. Also decided to repaint the entire aspec front lip.

I wasn't a fan of the Aspec lip all in one color but was pleasantly surprised after seeing it done in person.

The pictures really don't do this justice. The bumper looks "fuller" and gives the look of being lower. Also, the grille looks awesome in person.

I'm currently on the Aspec suspension, once I go a bit lower and put on my wheels I feel it will look awesome.





Eventually if I get tired of the look, I'll paint the formally grey portion of the lip a high gloss black. But for now it really does look great, gotta see it in person to appreciate it.

Finally, not really noticeable in the pics, I finished the two lowered vent grilles in a high gloss black, super subtle but actually make a nice little difference!

The grill looks fantastic, im kinda on the fence about the lip too, I know its not the same looking at it in person tho. You need some blacked out headlights now

Hmmm...

I think I'm in agreement with most others....I am not in love with it, but I don't hate it either. Would probably have to see it in person. Thumbs up for something different though.

You should black out your headlights and wrap the hood piece, V shaped trim piece, and center bar in gloss black vinyl! that will really make that white stand out

This

I think if you ever took it further, having the grey piece molded into the whole lip would be very unique

Thanks for all the comments.

The second we put the bumper back in place I immediately thought to myself I needed to blackout the headlights!

I'll try to get some better angled pics.

ATLS - I work downtown (king/portland area) - recently moved out to Etobicoke though, near the lake.
