I think it looks good in black. You cant really see it unless you're looking.

Word. The black actually hides it if yer not paying attention yet sets it off if you are. The flat black makes it better.

Thanx 2 all! It will stay flat black... Easier to repair damaged paint!

As for the lip/no bodykit thing: World Challenge Proteg's doesn't have bodykit, just this plain lip or the 03.5 USDM MSP lip. I like it better that way.

I personally would have the top half painted to match the car, leaving the bottom flat black. for ease of repair... but the top part being black (or even CF for that matter) just bothers me

It looks good, Just bulky..

Are you using Coilovers or something? How is your car so damn low. ..

I think the idea of top painted and bottom flat black is cool also.. But do what makes you happy.

I'm using B+G S3, fully 'dropped'. Still have decent wheel travel... But I will switch to Tein SS or KW V2 next year due to higher spring rates and dampening adjustability.

I will think about the bottom flat/painted top thing....
