Need opinions please!!

I just got my Stillen front lip today. I need help deciding either to paint it black or paint it Sterling mist(body color). My sidemarkers are smoked and my windows are tinted dark, so I was thinking it might look nice black?

To be honest, I would say paint in the body color. It would look more uniform with the rest of th body. Even with the dark side marker lenses.

body color, so that it looks like it was meant to be like that, and not some piece that you just slapped on. There is a black RSX in the parking lot of my apts., and everytime i go by it i shake my head at it. you want the same finish too, it looks weird to have mismatching materials.

Keep the original paint. If you're to question doing anything I would suggest mold it into the front bumper. Just my opinion, its your car.

Have fun and take pics of whatever you do

Thanks for all your opinions! I most likely paint it to match body along with eyelids!

I think it would look good if your skirts and rear lip were black if you have rear lip. If not I would paint it your factory color.
