You should probably stick with alpine white. The only other color in your exterior paint scheme is black and I think you will not see the lip in black. You could paint the top white and the bottom, where you cannot see it, a textured black undercoating to protect it from scratches.
BTW is that the oil change rack at the Spangdahlem auto hobby shop? |

Man, you really do get all the German goodies! I say stick with white, the contrast would look too weird imo

Yeah, but what about people with carbon lips (eventually)? I'm so torn. I think I will do white and then maybe vinyl whatever I may want to be black.

Hmmmmm.....Thats what I was originally thinking before I went up and saw it on the car. I'll have to play with photoshop. I bought it thinking it would look good black but after fitting it, I'm not sure. I wanted a little bit more black on the front to offset the rest of the car. I am leaning toward painting it white and vinyling the middle piece under the mouth black kindof like the Studie car. Ugghhhhhh. I'm so confused

That was with 2 screws. It's not even painted yet. I took the pics to plan with.

BTW: When did they start giving out Bitburg plates for Americans there? I hated those little US-sized plates with the NATO stars and a big USA underneath it. They were always saying don't stand out but gave us plates with USA on them... lol |

LOL......I'm not sure though if i like it or not and you know i'm not a hater....It does look pretty good on that 3 painted white so i would think thats your best route....But then again you always do a little different stuff with your cars so maybe you'll surprise me....btw once you put springs on your car that thing will be ripped off with the quickness going through the gate on nellis...my car scrapes and i don't even have the front lip that i want
