Opinions needed on front bumper styling

[Lee_e]

Hey guys

 

Need a bit of advice/opinions on what to do with my stock front with MVP lip thats going off to be sprayed soon, I have decided to cut the "ears" off as i dont think they go very well with the lines of my current skirts.

 

So im kind of drawn between getting the lip painted or keep it black, My car isnt any of the ones in pictures but its white I have a Trial rear with rear diffuser part in matt black and carbon wrapped TRD spolier blade, so Im thinking the unpainted would match it up at both ends ?

 

What do we think I should do ? ... I know its very much " each to their own" and all that but im after peoples thoughts as I really cant think for myself

 

Pictures at the bottom are of the same lip with it black or painted, Ive even added a poll for all you people who love a good poll.

Personally I'd go white. Unless you have other black/carbon touches on the car.

[Lee_e]

just adjusted the original post to add I have the trial rear diffuser part sprayed matt black and a carbon wrapped TRD blade

 

thanks for your input too bud.

Get it carbon wrapped.

Black.

[Dim Sum]

I send for white. Because at certain angle and distance the black lip don't really stand out, but if you want to retain the stock look then black is your choice.

[Scutch0]

I have the same on mine and personally I think it's much better painted to match the car

[DodgyRog]

If you have sideskirts I would paint it white

 

I always think they look a bit odd from the side when the front lip is black, it looks all out of line, as the lip disappears, the 1st pic shows this very well

 

When it doesn't have the skirts, like the 2nd pic, the black lip works well, as it keeps the bottom line of the car

Yeah exactly my thoughts on this too either way it does look good but its the attension to detail that will make the car stand out.

SPG-26 had his lip done in a very OEM black looking coating with the ear trimmed off...check out his car as its also white!

 

I vote go this same route.

I totally agree with Rog, so I'm voting paint it white to follow the lines of the skirts

[Lee_e]

Thanks for your input guys.. Just to add i have blitz skirts which are straight and lower than standard skirts.. Im starting to agree on the painted lip. Think your spot on with your words though rog

Just what I was too lazy to type lol

[Dnk]

If you paint it white make sure its a really good match or that can look

pretty bad, should go well with Blitz side skirts, you'll have fun parking as that

wont go over the kerb by the looks of it

[Big Mark]

I fitted the same front lip last weekend and have oem skirts and trial rear bumper to go on. I'm definitely getting mine painted the same colour as my car.

[Lee_e]

My do-luck doesnt fit over kerbs so Im used to being cautious

[SilverSoop]

Get it carbon wrapped, would look miles better!

 

I wouldn't get it sprayed white but of course, it's up to you

[Havard]

White lips always look a bit tacky IMO.

 

Carbon wrapped my be a good way to go.

[Lee_e]

I think i will get the bumper sprayed then bolt the mvp lip on unpainted then see how it looks .. If it does look right i will spray it

 

Sounds like a better plan to me

 

Thank you all for your wisdom and thoughts
