Black Poly Urethane on Obsidian Black

I was wondering,

If I ordered a black poly urethane front lip and slapped it on my obsidian black IS, would it be crucial for me to paint it obsidian black, or would you even be able to tell the difference?

It will NOT be shiny. I'd paint it if you want it to look good.

Order the lip you want and install it. If you feel you like the results without painting it, go for it!

It will not match. Will be able to tell the difference between the two. Its up to you whether you will like it or not.

Can't be but what $80 to paint, right? How much do you guys think it'll cost?

Sounds about right.. 80 to 120 not including labour to install.

I'd say get it painted however before you paint it install it on the car and do any triming and drilling if any. Once you do that take it to a body shop to get it painted.

I'm going to do exactly this when I get my lips installed.
