Much better with the lip painted.

 

oh so nice, is that pearl custom, or is it an oem pearl from another car

 

looks alot better with the lip on there! looks like you also cut out the fake ducts.

 

sick sick ride man, beautiful taste!

 

big

 

Looks even better

 

thanks guys.

the car color was painted a custom pearl i believe by the previous owner. original color was berlina black.
championship white/ diamond pearl.

its an oem style lip i picked up for cheap from one of the members on the board.

my friend who painted my lip said its a three stage process. the champ white-like color, then add the pearl, then clear coat. Has his own shop and does top notch work. i thought it was going to mismatch, but you can only tell really up close or if you focus on it. he told me in time it will slowly blend in with the color of the bumper. I am pleased with the results.

thanks again guys for the comments.

 

Was the previous owner Ethen (screenname: iflooksKillz) by any chance?
