Arrow If you've wanted to see a painted / color-matched Tom's lip:

I painted mine so the bottom of the lip edge would flow with the side skirt, also giving the bumper a "lower" appearance.

Painted:







Carbon:

Im not sure what's more baller, the fact you have a CF toms front lip or the fact that you have a CF toms front lip and painted it lol but either way it looks good!

It takes some courage to paint over an expensive CF part like that but I think it was worth it!
It looks great! I think that if I ever got a Toms lip that I would do the same.
Nice looking car.

Definitely not balling haha. My apologies, I should have specified this is a rep. In my build thread I outlined the similarities and differences between the real and the rep. I got the rep knowing full well I was going to paint it.

I think the lines on the lip really work with the car, and if you have a colored car you would be doing yourself a disservice by not having it color-matched carbon is always a safe and good move though.

Thats a really nice stance look without the stance. Looks very pretty overall!

Your car is super clean as no headlight washers, no side indicators, no sunroof no front plate very nice. This is how they should have come. And the spoiler looks good to.

Super clean! What sizes are your tires? And which springs/coilovers do you have?!

Very clean & nicely done. Interesting seeing you go for continuity as opposed to contrast like most do (including me) nowadays. Particularly with the white. I like it a lot.

I am not one for aftermarket rims on this car but on yours it works very well. I think the white has a lot to do with this too.

might just be a US spec thing cause they do come like that here, mine has none of those things either. those are options here(except side indicators), that spoiler is oem too
