Should I paint the lip or leave it black? - Acura Forum

Should I paint the modified RM Racing front lip white like my other lip or leave it black? If I paint it white I'll leave the brake vents black and transfer the mesh grill insert from my white painted one.

Original white painted one.

New modified one in black.

It looks pretty good in both situations, but if I had to choose, I'd probably go with black, primarily because of the black accents on your car from the roof and wheel centers.

And your car would look hot with a DownForce NSX-R wing.

Randy, notice I have the stock wing on right now? I'm getting my DreamZsport wing painted black. It was painted white before. Later on I'm going with the real NSX-R style wings by either Taitec or one of the other brands.

So you guys really like it black

Maybe someone can photoshop this pic with the black rear spoiler and front lip? Randy? I'm going to take rear wing and lip to the body shop in a day or two. If I go with black for the lip I'll actially have it painted Berlina Black as it is just the black ABS plastic right now.

I say black too.

integra_guy · 08-04-06, 01:40 AM

I say paint half of it black, and the other half white, you get the best of both world

IMO I like it black also, it makes the rims stand out

*spyder5786* · 08-04-06, 02:10 AM

Black

BK_King · 08-04-06, 02:37 AM

Yeah, keep it black. It does make the rims stand out.

djbme83 · 08-04-06, 12:49 PM

yup, definitely go w/ the black

Senator McCain · 08-04-06, 06:03 PM

I've got the same lip on my car....Black is the only way to go!!!

ChrisK · 08-05-06, 11:52 PM

Thanks guys. I dropped off the Dreamzsport spoiler and RM lip to paint and I'm taking your advice and painted them Berlina Black. I'll get some new pics on how the over all package looks after the August 25-27 car show. I don't want to show too much of what the changes look like before the show

I got a couple of cool A/V upgrades though. I'm installing the Alpine W200 flush mounted and it will also send signals to my M760 in the OEM navpod.
