    IS lip; painted or no

    I've got a brilliantrot IS. It needs a paint job. I think I may prefer the IS lip to remain black. Your thoughts?

        I too am at the same point but the way I see it is that since I don't have skirts (painted) mine is going to be black. So I'm gonna vote black.

          That's a good point and as I do not have skirts and the FEW skirt kits I like are ridiculously expensive that may push me further towards no paint.

              Leave it black until you paint your whole car then paint it

                      Buy 2 and paint 1 the're not that expensive and change them out at will. Also get a black grill and mix match for different looks.
