just a thought...

has anybody ever ordered or though about getting their honda aero kit a different color than the body of their car. i was planning on getting it sometime soon for my taffeta but i was thinking of maybe getting just the front in nighthawk black, since my car does have a sort of black/white theme goin' on. is there any hope that this would look good? or should i just stick to my color?

I dunno, a lot of people go with a black front lip. It would def be different- dont take anyones opinion, search around for a pic of a white vic with the aero kit, and photoshop it, or find it and ask someone who knows how, to chop it for ya. I have my doubts, but it might be hot. maybe just the front in black though, but def photoshop it!!!!!!

IMO, it might look like you got a lip kit and haven't painted it yet. It might not flow that well and stick out but then again, maybe not. I guess i'd have to see your car to develop a real opinion.

ehh I would keep the lips in white... the front may look kinda funny as the aero kit goes higher up on the bumper than most lips

Ya know after putting some thought into it, it could really look sick, especially if you threw a carbon fiber hood on.

id do the whole kit in black. ive got a white 05 coupe and i love the white/black scheme. as much black as you have on your car hopefully most people would get the idea you did the black kit on purpose and not think youre too cheap to get it painted. i would ditch the mudflaps in the meantime.
