I don't. Depending on your color, with just a front lip, I like to leave it black. I'm leaving my Mugen front lip the black it's coming in. But I really like the Red on Black stuff. For body kits, I wouldn't try it myself. A POS paint job is not worth your time doing it.

I painted my OEM rear bumper (you can see it here http://www.clubintegra.com/board/showthread.php?t=19901&page=2) just scroll down the the bottom of the page. I just rattle canned with duplicolor and put 2 coats of clear on it.

Then it's just a matter of wetsanding all imperfections out and buffing to a mirror finish.

^Hey that looks good, I'm going to give that a try when I order a new rear lip for mines. Anyways back to the post I like to keep my front lip black. Here's some old pics of mines, the lips are still black.

I don't like mismatched parts. I think lips and hoods should be painted to match the rest of the body.

I'm a fan of Carbon fiber, but not too much carbon fiber.

If I ever got a hood I'd keep it clear coated. probably lips too that way

Would you paint match an Si-VTEC lip?

I would, I don't like not painted parts and I'm not a fan of carbon fiber. You can make fiberglass parts just as light.

i think it would depend on what kind of lip youre gonna put on the car, if its a si-vtec lip, or a jdm type-r front lip leave it black, but if its a mugen, or a wings west color match it to the car
