Car looks amazing! I like it painted better than gloss on your car. SICK

It's a really good look, but I've only ever seen it done on slammed/aftermarket wheel cars, I'm still trying to find pics online on a stock zcp
That’s actually my car, in that pic it’s on stock suspension.

Here is one with it dropped:

Painted looks much better. I always thing the non-matching makes the car look like a beaver.

Non-black/gray cars I'd def paint it body color including the entire CF splitter. Else it looks like it's missing half the front bumper in a very crooked way.

I bought a black M4 for this very reason.

I haven't scrapped yet but I just put it on. But I might clearbra my lip so it would be protected by something for rocks.

Get it cleared. Well worth the cost to keep it looking perfect much longer. I cleared my scoops and they still look brand new

I got a little damage to my street fighter carbon lip. If nobody can repair it I’m debating just getting it bondo’d and painted YMB to match

Love my paint match. PPF the top and slip lo on the bottom. I had the paint shop add the slip lo. No scrapes on my paint anywhere.

can you elaborate on the extra black splitter you have attached below the painted M Performance front lip? I've been thinking of doing something like this.

It’s a FCP Euro add on splitter. I’m not sure if it’s still for sale. I didn’t see it on their website last i checked.

IND sells a painted lip. I'll probably go that route. PPF, Ceramic, and maybe the slip lo.

My carbon splitter is painted from BMW when the car was delivered new.
I wrapped my whole car in PPF including splitter. I also made a skidplate of 5mm plastic that i put under the splitter for protection. I have the same splitter since the car was new.
