just picked up type r front lip
I have a 02 front and 05 rear on my 02 ebp ex. I am indecisive about whether to paint it or not. I have the paint already but it looks so damn nice black. They type r front matches the 05 oem rear bumper perfectly.... What do you think paint it or not?
I also cleaned my dryflow last night, came out a perfect white!

Yeah, and that's coming from someone with "rice" in their username. Everyone hates them 'cause they just don't look good.
Paint it. Black lips make it look like it's wanna-be carbon, whether or not it actually is.

Black lips make it look dull, not wanna-be carbon. Painting it will look more OEM and not so much ABS plastic on your car. It'll give it a much cleaner feel. If you like the black that much which alot of people do.. i'd repaint it black so it looks alot better. That abs plastic tends to look horrid when not painted.

After a crap load of procrastinating I finally got around to painting and installing the lip..here she is...what do you think?
I love how it matches my 2005 rear bumper perfectly!

I actually dig the tails on your car. New lip looks good. Hard to believe with all the black rims, smoked tails, and tint, that you haven't yet blacked out your headlights to complete the look and bring your car together.

I think I may have to get on that....I have thought of it, but I am worried that I will destroy my oem headlights and I don't want to do that!

I think you should get 04 tails and them smoke them and also do the same with the head lights for a extra clean look but it still looks good man!
