So I have an IP with dark black tinted tails - I'm doing some work to it this week. I'll be posting pics within a week or two when its done:

JP Visage lip kit
Vossen wheels - black lip
Black grille - chrome emblem
Black headlight housing
Drop

Now for the black paint on the lip and such, should I go with a gloss black or a matte black finish?

I can't decide, in the case I go with the gloss black, wouldn't the gloss lip emphasize the dullness of the tires? I'd need to be pretty much religious with armorall on those damn tires...

Or am I over analyzing. Maybe I'll just have upkeep the shiny look of those tires more.

What do you guys think?

 

I'm not sure how the JP lip will look if it's not color matched to the car. I believe everyone that has that lip had it painted to match the body color. The only black lips I know of on this forum are Stillen splitters, not JP lips. Have you seen one in contrast black before? Or did you photoshop it to get a feel for it before you decide?

 

Yes, paint the lip IP to match the car. It's too big of a piece to paint non-body color. I think it'll stand out too much.

Btw, cool sig!

matte is nice with IP, your over analyzing the tire thing, just put some tire shine when you wash it thats all.
