ok finally a pic of the lip painted and installed. agree with everyone else here, best $200 mod, but like I said earlier you gotta paint it or get it to a matte finish. out of the box the shiny vinyl finish looks cheap IMO

Thanks. Yes they are cups. Awesome tires! BTW, I'm running spacers.

What did you paint it with? I did the plasti dip and it is not a good idea for this part. If you happen to rub it or brush along the lip, the dip can start to peal.

sent it to my body shop and had it painted to match the body color.

I did the plasti-dip and has worked great so far. There's definite peeling under the lip but as long as I pull off the bits in the opposite direction, it hasn't affected the front of the lip where it's visible. I am curious though, without primer, could you just take a can of flat black paint and just spray the paint on (just like you do with plasti-dip)?
I finally installed my lip this week & had it painted body color with clear bra installed on it ,i can tell you that i had the OEM aero lip on before this, until i lost it at the track(don't ask 
) & i can't tell the difference between the two.Of course it compliments my aero kit wing perfectly.

These seem to look great...So I just ordered one. Plan to paint Basalt Black Met. to match my car and clear the heck out of it too...I noticed right after I bought mine...The price went up $20 ? Interesting how the supply and demand curves and price intersections (equillibrium) work just as you learned in economics class
When I get mine done, I will post pictures also...Hope it looks as good as you guys who have posted pics...Awesome looking cars!

I like things to look Oem & this lip would only come in painted body color from factory ,i did have the stock lip in black while waiting for this to come in & really changes the look ,especially on light colored cars .Once you paint the lip it just looks lower.
