What paint did you use for the lip

duplicolor - Ford Cardinal Red and Rustoleum Automotive primer. It did a decent job, especially for how much it all cost

awesome thanks!

got my s204 lip in yesterday. When i opened up the box it was really bent out of shape, a few minutes with a heat gun fixed that though. layed on a thick coat of plasti dip and then mounted it. I need to pull one side out a bit more, but overall it looks good.

small update:

I had some free time when I came home from school today so I installed the Mazdaspeed doorsills and the KMR V-Brace I picked up a few days ago. Turns out the right arm on the v-brace wouldn't clear the sway bar so I had to remove the AWR brackets in order to get everything to clear.

they're off a Mazdaspeed Protege, not sure if you'll be able to get them from a dealer or not. Thanks!

After chasing down the Fedex guy for a couple days I was finally able to replace my blown strut this afternoon. It was pouring out oil lol

also found an old cargo net off my moms old camry, decided to use it to keep my toolbag from flying around.
