Painted black, it almost looks OEM. Nice work, love the color of your car! | | | 04-11-2011, 10:41 PM | #33 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | That does look good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ Im guessing im the youngest member on here with a S52 power'ed Ti at 16 years old! | | | 04-12-2011, 12:36 AM | #34 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | I would have painted it body color but on a dark car it actually does look pretty good | | | 04-12-2011, 12:48 AM | #35 | Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 43 | yes im happy with it. you no i had a hard time deciding on what color to choose either body match or black. both would look good but i believe the black gives more of a aggressive look to it. i found this mod to be a good alternative aposed to buying the m tech bumper and getting that painted. great mod for non m tech ti's. i would have to paint it body color to truly no which way would look the best. and the paints condition should be fine for a long time because i will only have it on from now till end of October every year. and just unbolt the 4 screws and store it for winter time. | | | 04-12-2011, 12:53 AM | #36 | Member Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 43 | btw, any 1 catch the dinger on the left side of the grill...1 day after i put the black out grill on and some idiot must of reversed or drove into it while parking...sad day, very tuff one to swallow. | | | 04-12-2011, 04:52 AM | #37 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | I had a tailgate painted and it was like 150 bucks, no body work...

I've been looking for a lip for my base 98. Any more ideas out there? | | | 04-28-2011, 03:53 AM | #42 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | Quote: Originally Posted by jca Painted or not, I think that the carbon fiber lip would look out of place on a non m bumper.

The Zender lip was discontinued, however RDsport(Racing Dynamics) copied it. Here's a a few pics of it: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14312 and it was for sale a while back, not sure if he still has it: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28918 | | | 04-28-2011, 06:43 PM | #43 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | Quote: Originally Posted by jca Painted or not, I think that the carbon fiber lip would look out of place on a non m bumper.

You're right...that is a very nice looking lip.
