Go paint that lip since you only spent $10 to get it. Painting it should be $100-$150? It'll look good after

But isn't it just going to get all scraped up again?

I personally don't like black painted pieces because it makes people think "this guy is too cheap/poor to buy real CF".

I would go for matching paint... it's just me tho.

I've used Southerland's in South Austin and Custom Car Crafters in North Austin. Have been very happy both times. There are tons of good shops out there though.

i say just leave it. repainting(unless it the same color as your car) wont be worth it cause itll just get all messed up again. i barely have any paint left on the bottom of my gfx lip.

I mean I am going to paint it crystal white because I personally did not like the look of black lip on the car. I know it will get scraped again but I guess that is just part of it! lol Thanks for the suggestion Crystal!
