I finally recieved my iS lip from eap4parts, now I am just waiting for the paint from paintscratch.com to arrive. Anyways, here are the pics of my truely dirty car. When it rains everyday for a month, its pointless to wash your car.

it will look good painted!
painting it yourself isn't that hard. the paint from paintscratch is quality stuff (i've used it on my wheels and lip so far), you just have to take your time and do it right. 400 grit wetsand your primer coat, 600 grit wet sand between coats of base (but not your last coat), and 2 nice and wet coats of clear. if you get any small runs in the clear don't worry about it, 1500 grit sandpaper and 3m polishing compound will take them right out. :)
can't say I'm a fan of the yellow low beams though...Comment

it ended up being like 60 dollars, around there. I plan on painting my rear iS lip with it when I get that as well. As for paint chips, I know, they were there when I bought the car. Digitalwave, I plan on evening the sides today, I got finished late late last night. The lip was 140 from eap. It took forever to arrive, I ordered it June 10th, and just got it friday.

you're probably going to run out of paint before you can do the rear is lip. I used almost two cans of base and an entire can of clear on my lip.Comment

leave it like it is!!
just my opinion and to each his own.
I like the is with a splitter, wish the rear bumper were easier to put on an early body.Comment

Splitter could be pulled in a little imo.

the splitter could be fixed on each side, more even with the lip... does it go farther back than the end of the lip on the inside, like mine, kinda like a splash guard? FAR superior to the ones Ryan makes, no offense, but they're weak as hell
