gordy.r Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 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?

Axl Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's black for me and imo it would suit silver too plus if you paint and then hit a speed bump cracked paint would be a total ball ache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 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.

Westy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Unpainted mate! I've already caught mine a dozen or so times! Lowering the car and painting it just don't go hand in hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Keep it black I have had both on mine and prefer the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 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 - - - Updated - - - No need....little bit of rubber care/back to black and it's gleaming: http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/westy882/0047D629-8312-4C9F-A04E-96798A903268_zpsdsser6cp.jpg That looks lovely mate love those BBS'!

jazz1 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 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 .
