    because you can't see it, you may as well just keep the black i lip.

      Ha, 'I don't like the way BMW designed something, so I'm gonna bitch about it.'

      That's the way cars came from the factory. Post a picture of a late-model iS car that left BMW with a flat-black lip.
      That's rhetorical, but today no cars have iS lips and if you want one you must purchase one... which means you also need to paint it.

      I've never had a hard time spotting a black iS lip on a car (yes that does include cars that are not black as well)

      Anyhow.... matter of taste I guess... and I'm alone on that one.

        I have a flat black iS lip because I don't want to pay to paint the part. BMW did it a lot better with color coded spoilers though.

          Exactly. More than half the time my lip is completely lost in blackness, black iS lips are pointless most of the time.

            Because a black lip looks cheap and it lost in the shadows of the car.

              Are you guys still talking about fucking lips? Jesus, have a few pages of OT. WHO cares? It's matter of personal preference. There will always be people who want their lips black, and others who want them body color.

              I'm painting mine grabber green just to prove a point. :roll:
