that lip is at least 3 shades lighter than the rest of the car...


what paint did you use?

automotivetouchuppaint.com usually does a pretty good job at matching...

Picked everything up from the body shop the other day, the painted and installed the front lip and rear spoiler. After the painted the front lip they were installing it and using low-tack tape and a bit of the paint peeled away (Blamed it on the mold release agent weeping). They said it was a pain in the ass to install the front lip and would I mind if they just took of the front bumper and stripped/resprayed the whole thing, and I said sure because there was a TON of small rock chips. Ended up being a great deal for me and know I am highly recommending them because everything looks GREAT! Color match is almost perfect, you can only tell if the sun hits it JUST right.

Got everything done for $288.75 and found a good body shop that stands by their work!

And I'm saying there's a better rattle can option.

May as well try to get close to the color if you're gonna take the time to paint it.

It costs a little more but looks 100x better

a tp is a tp and who makes it doesnt make a difference. people say it sounds different from different manufactures but its really the exhaust the have on and the size.

a tp is just a straight through pipe. its very hard to mess that up.

Wow, I just realized one of my 1st mods was one of ebay's finest! High temp. decals....Another member inquired about it in the pwjdm rotors thread....


These have had 0 issues since I installed them and they lasted quite a while, probably about 1.5-2yrs...

I picked it up at the local autozone, I think it was duplicolor brake caliper paint and used duplicolor brake cleaner prior to taping the rotors and then spraying.
