Need some opinions on my ride.
I was thinking of doing something a little different since everyone seems to have Velox VX8s now. I dont want to change rims because i love the way these look on my car but i did want to stand out



Should the lip be anodized, color matched rallye red or stay the same.

Leave it. The rims look sharp with the red car. They just fade away with the red lip.

looks nice the way it is, if I wanted to change something, i'd get a CF hood or something. It would compliment the blacked out headlights and wheels. just MO though.

IMO keep it clean and don't paint the lip...however it does not look too bad, I would worry about curbing it even slightly or changing tires and having a shop mess up the nice red paint!!

i noticed that the photochop with the red lip on ur car is more lowered compared to the orginal copy. thats probably why people are saying to go with red?

but i think you should just drop it more if u have adjustable/reliable suspension. if not that, cf hood?
