If you don't have any of your lower trim pieces painted i'd put it on just like it is.

I don't yet, and I'm really curious what it will look like with oem gt2 sides unpainted.

The quality of the chewy seams and the shiny finish make me want to paint it though...

I wouldn't mix & match either go all painted or all unpainted ,painted lower pieces just makes the car look much lower to the ground,it's an optical illusion but a good one.

Yeah, if I paint the lip, I'll have to paint the rest of my lower trim.

If I leave it black, I will keep it all black.

My original plan was to paint everything, but my friends keep messing with my head saying that they like the contrast of the black.

Try it.
I was going to do a replica GT2 front bumper but was afraid of fitment.

I like my turbo bumper, and I agree, fitment is the scary part on aftermarket stuff.....

AZTurbo is infamous around these parts
I wonder if it could be prepped and painted? I would like to do the GT2 side skirts along with this lip all painted.
