What about yellow?

Paint it red like the car.

i am confused, are you asking what color to paint your car or what color to paint your already black lip/spoiler? oh well ill give my opinion on both.

spoiler/lip...paint them to match your car.

car paint, if you have a very solid body and are committed to the project long-term, rip the engine and respray the whole body/ engine bay/door sils etc. original Zinno....my 0.02

im just asking about the lip and spoiler, and any other ideas, i kinda want some contrast. right now everything is zinno

got it... how about some shadow lining and some black centers on your wheels. looks like you got weaves... some smoked tails maybe? although that look is overdone it looks solid on a zinno car.

I don't know why people consider painting things black as contrast. In my opinion, I find the "contrast" look very distracting, except when it's something bigger like an e28 or mtech 1 trunk spoiler which is supposed to grab your attention.

How about a nice "candy cane" scheme where you keep the car red but paint the spoiler, lip, door trim and valence white. That will give you some very nice contrast.

paint them red.. if you paint the front spoiler black, nobody will even see it. you may as well just have a black i lip then..

+1

I think that color matched looks best on a zinno car.

paint the lip red and the spoiler black.

Contrast IS your friend. Either way it will look good, it's all up to you.

[Teaguer]

It can work either way .

Here is my brilliant '89 with black lip, mirrors and rear spoiler :

this is exactly what I'm talking about. you can't even see there's a spoiler there:


how does that "work"?
