What colour should I paint my DGM front lip?

[LRHK]

Hey all... I got my new DGM front lip today and I am trying to decide which colour to paint it and who better to ask then fellow P5ers.

What I am thinking since there is a line all around it half way down is to paint the top part red (so it matches on the joins) and the bottom black (so when it gets scratched it isn't as noticable). If I go with the black part then I would take my side skirts and paint those black as well. What does everyone think?

Personally, I would vote for all red...

Me too, Red all around.

If it were C/F id say halfsies but since its urethane i say all red.

def all red. if you had the skirts black and the bottom of the lip black it would look gay in my opinion(even though i must say i love black cars) but ultimately do what you want.

question for you. how heavy is that lip do you think? does anyone know what the weight dif is between the urethane lip and the C/F lip????

Negligable. They're not too far off from each other.

Thanks for the advice... haven't been able to visual the black, just thought it would be easier for scratches.

I think the c/f ones look pretty good two-tone, but I agree with everyone else about the urethane...paint it all red.

Good point about the scratches, though. My silver one looked perfect for about 3 hours. (sad1)

CF is ghey, All red all the way.

I say leave it black...but that's IMHO.

 

[Junior]

all red

 

[Cellerator]

I say half because if you do all red, scratched up bumpers look worse than a 2 tone, that's my opinion.

Nice....just need to get the CF hood and painted headlights to finish that bad boy off...

 

[LRHK]

Just curious, is that painted?

 

[altspace]

Not painted. Just test fitting.

Looks like it fits perfect. Mine didn't butt up against the lower grill like that.
