RMM / Wings West lip painted or not?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking at getting one of the MVP or similar Wings West copy lips for my stock bodied 199 Silver Supra.

Whilst I love the look of the black lip on other coloured cars I'm not sure it sits to well on a silver Supra?

Anyone got any thoughts or preferences on which you think looks better?

Quite simple for me. The bottom of the car needs to appear level imo, so if you have oem/aftermarket skirts, have it body coloured. If it has stock skirts, leave it black.

 

Personally, I think it looks silly when the bumper looks 3 inches closer to the ground than the rest of the car.

I have mine unpainted atm...I didn't like the look of it at first, but now everyone says leave it black, the contrast looks good. I was thinking of plasti-dipping the lip, that way you can colour it and not really worry if you scrape it so much

No need....little bit of rubber care/back to black and it's gleaming:

Unpainted here too Gordy :) I've also gone from hating them with 'ears' to preferring them with.

 

Weird how that works. I used to think they looked terrible with the ears on...now ive finally got it on mine...I like the ears!

I agree on the above need skirts or something, also unpainted as when i had it in the past the piant got ruined and it looks silly if you have a nice splitter, high stance needs to be low and sexy ;).
