Default "oem" front lip, red or black?

which do you guys think looks better, the lip in red to match or the contrast of black?

if you paint the lip, you have to paint the side skirts (and mudflaps) to match.

Keep it black. Looks better and will not matter so much when it scrapes something. The NA and NB tend to look "tubby" when you paint the front and rear lips and side skirts to match.

Definitely carbon fiber unless you scrape a lot or you think it will get stolen or you don't want to spend the money... etc.

I say leave it black.

Cut them in half and go two-tone.

I still say black. No wait, go with red, and send the black one to me. I'll pay shipping!

If you take the red one and paint it neon green it will make the decision alot easier. Just my .02 of postwhoring.

In Tennessee, I was taught that you're supposed to say, "Once you go Black, we don't want you back!"
