Need your opinions on my front lip! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

bdanisi · 09-12-2013, 12:23 AM

Shalom everybody! I just wanted to see what the general reaction to the color of my front lip. I just have had it sitting in my living room because everyday its like should i wait to paint match it, nah leme bolt it on today, nvm im gonna wait to paint, and so on and so fourth. So i did a quick 3m mockup today. I really like the look of the lip, but it actually looks pretty cool not painted. Ive also been told painting polyeurothane has its pros and cons. Any feedback is much appreciated. Especially if you have experience with paint on polyuerothane. Do you like the color, or should I paint match. Its so hard for me to decide because Raven black frs is so bright and shiny i figured matte black would clash. so what do you think? Paint er or leave er?
Cheers,
Brandon

Seriously thanks for the feedback!

I for one think it looks great, especially if you do the same with side skirts or something like that.

JonAvalon · 09-12-2013, 01:41 AM

I like it the way it is, looks good!

Young_makaveli · 09-12-2013, 02:02 AM

Looks good

Where did you get the lip?

OICU812 · 09-12-2013, 05:09 AM

Wish they made one half that far out just too far IMO.

Buy some matte or satin black paint in a rattle can and paint it. That way it won't look fugly in a few weeks.

FRSoxfan · 09-12-2013, 11:14 AM

Looks nice! The PU doesn't really get nasty over time, had mine since winter and still looking great!

Chase86 · 09-12-2013, 11:50 AM

I like the contrast. Especially if you pair it with some side skirts. Do you know what brand it is? I'd like to get one too!

T_Scott · 09-12-2013, 11:59 AM

You could always Carbon wrap it? I may do my lip kit in dark red once I get it....

I have no idea what your talking about. Why would it look fully in a few weeks? Does paint on polyurethane not look right or does it fade or something? Ellaborate please!

FRSfan111 · 09-12-2013, 02:40 PM

These threads always make me think of this...

But we are all guilty of it haha. Looks good op!

Poly doesn't really change it's appearance much over time. It'll fade slightly just like all things will. But I've always used poly lips on my Hondas and never had problems. IMO I would either paint match raven like a boss or if u get lowered leave it as is. That way of u scrape it, just tape it off or take it off, rattle can it satin black and no one will know.

Sexyeve · 09-14-2013, 06:04 PM

Looks good just the way it is . Don't ever change.

jisfos · 09-14-2013, 06:34 PM

I agree. If you get tired of that look, wrap in matte carbon. That will highlight and still keep it somewhat stealthy and clean.
