Anyone painted the M Performance lip Gloss black?
Almost feels like it should have been gloss black instead of how they have it in matte? Anyone seen it in gloss black care to comment or share some pictures?
Thanks.

Your car looks amazing
Did you get it color matched to the M Perf grills? How much should I be looking to pay for this? Quote:
Look forward to it. Are you getting it color matched to the M Perf grills?

What are side blades? Splitters? I would think since they are CF I would leave them as is.

Awesome. Any info on them? Pictures, etc? Is this a custom job or are they available like that now? What's the difference?

Thanks man! They're CF so they're not oem, but if I had the oem ones I would probably paint them gloss black as well to match the rest of the car haha.

Clear coat will not protect it... It's 5 inches off the ground...trust me, it will look like crap in no time.
Wrap it or plan to repaint it... :

I was considering painting the lip and blades gloss black but lip is like that to be able to take a beating, if painted anything is gonna be noticeable after that. Too much debris on the track it will not survive.

Does that hold true for the stock matte paint as well or is wrapping just mandatory?

On a side note, a good body shop also knows that urethane parts also accept paint differently. So they will add some more black or white in the formula compared to the sheet metal panels to compensate. Yes, I used to run a body shop. |

I've actually scrapped my gloss black lip 5-6 times now, but it still looks good since it's all on the underside. And if it scrapes up pretty badly, just repaint it obviously lol. Same with the oem matte black one when it gets all scraped up, you either refinish it matte black or go another color route, it's pretty common sense. Lip is there for looks at the cost of scraping more lol Hope you guys figure out how you want to your cars to be and goodluck!
