Front lip photochopping

[Rick]

I'm receiving a front lip for my Accord by mail and while waiting for it to come I did some photochopping...

Here's the lip:

Which color should I paint the lip? Red or black?

[rehv_Aerodeck86]

[cdscowboy]

[buzzbomber88lx]

this should look tight on 88 bumper.
oh wait, i just looked at the picture and i am getting different lip.
oh well, it still JDM/EURO lip.

No that's not a factory made lip. We don't have any of them. We have to make custom lips here. This specific lip was cut from a similar Accord front bumper.

[shepherd79]

can you take more pistures of the cut in the middle.
i would love to see how they did it.

You should really get the whole bumper painted.

It would look way better if the whole bumper was red, rather than just the lip.

I will after I get the lip by mail, maybe on friday. The pic was taken by the previous owner...

[hot86accrd86]

how much did that cost

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

if u cant paint the bumper red id paint it black

[markmdz89hatch]

I kinda agree with JDM on this one.

Personally, I like the look of the black bumpers. Paint the lip with bumper-black, and it'll look badass.

here's a pic of mine with black bumper and black lip.....

BLACK BUMPERS RULE!!!!!!!!
i just switched to 88 black bumpers.
they look soooo goooooood.

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

yeah....marc's car's a great example to show ya........kinda looks weird if you have the red lip on the black........if you have the money to paiunt the whole bumper red.....then paint the lip red...

[89AcCOrDmike]

the black bumbers only look good on white cars IMO

[Justin86]

Yea dude paint the entire bumber red.

[89accord_lxi_coupe]

i agree with JDM as well, if you can't paint the entire bumper red then paint the lip black. it would just give it better overall continuity. on a side note, and this is just me, i'm not really feelin those foggers on the front. that's an 88 right, nice job on the headlights. i'm liking those quite a bit.

Yeah I thought at first the extra high beams were cool, but not anymore. I'm gonna take 'em away some day. The lip is actually black, but it's painted white. I'll just remove the paint.

[A20A3nD15]

yea i personally would paint the entire front bumper red and the mirrors too

[toastyghost]

red looks better but don't just leave the lip red on a black bumper
