Thought I'd join the club and post pics of my 5th gen along with everyone else this week. I'm debating whether to paint the lip white or paint it a flat black. Right now the lip is bare urethane as I'm test fitting it.

The wheels haven't been washed in a week which is why they aren't very shiny. I need your guys opinions on the color for the lip:

 

 

Paint it white, would really smooth out the car.

 

Paint it white, I can bearly see it.

 

paint it. looks too much like rice. as one of the .org sigs here says "shift_away from rice"

 

HAHA...I totally agree with you from those pics. Actually in person its clearly visible, but it would stand out much better in white.

 

yes, def paint it. love ur wheels btw

 

Sweeeeeet car!!!

 

paint it but realize that the color mght not match..... It sucks with our color.... It happened to me.

 

Those wheels are nice. How much did they run you?

Oh yeah, and def white

 

Yeah, glacier pearl paint is tough to match. Getting the Stillen classic kit and was told by the Nissan body shop that it would never match exactly but will be very close.

 

as your fellow orgers mention...paint the lip white

 

Here's where I bought them from:

As for the lip not matching, I had my rear lip painted glacier pearl a while back and it actually matched up pretty good so I'm not too worried about it.

 

Paint it white, unless you paint the sideskirts black as well.

 

looks good. def paint it white. Love the grill

 

It would definitely be easier and cheaper to just paint it white. Also, this would look pretty nice.

But if you really like the black look, you'd have to do as somebody else stated and paint the side skirts AND rear valence as well. The flat black trim around the entire bottom of the car wouldn't look ricey, IMHO, because many Audis, etc. have that now. It might look pretty nice. I'm just not too sure about it on your car because it's white.

 

paint it white, i dont really like the grille. idk just doesnt look good to me...

 

paint it, i think it'll look more agressive from down the road.

 

paint it white. i love your rims. i am going to get them in gunmetal color.

 

another vote for white

 

do white, it'll look nicer

 

looks nice but you definitely need to paint that thing white to match IMO.

 

yesss paint it i am blind i see nothing

 

definetly paint it white and those rims are nice

 

I think the black lip looks sexy on a white car.

 

deff paint it quick. also have the body shop blend it the paint into the bumper, you'll never see the color diff!

 

paint it white!

 

Yes, white would look the best. I got the same lip as you did, and I thought leaving it black, and it did look good unpainted. But when I painted it the same color as my car, the looks were much better. Here's the link to my image.

I guess I need to get the rear one too like you do, to finish it up.
Sadly I still need to fugure out how to post images here.

 

Nathan, you MUST get that lip color matched. Black looks really ...barely flys when it's CF

 

HAHA....alright guys, thanks for the suggestions. I will get it painted as soon as I have the extra cash. I recently bought a set of kSport coilovers so I'm really broke right now.

 

yeah paint it but its cool.i had my stillen lip for a while on my car and it wasnt painted. i had the full stillen kit actually. now i am in the process pof painting it.

 

Lookin good Nathan, and looks even better in person! I say paint it white. Looks much cleaner colour matched. Congrats on the Ksports. Maybe when you get them installed you can take me for a spin and see how they ride. Keep it up, one of the nicest maxes on here.
