Default $5 Front spoiler lip

[FONT="Arial Black"]

I would like some opinions: I currently have installed the infamous $5 front spoiler lip...its is in it's original color(faltish black). What would you "eye appeal" experts think of painting it Gloss Black? I have gloss black machined faced rims, gloss black slasher stripes, and gloss black/silver revised Crossfire Emblems. I think I want to keep it the black color instead of the car paint scheme(Blaze Red).Carl

Sounds like you have enough black already on the car to do it and still look good..

Austinbarrylee: Make sure it doesn't have the "extra" top flange.. (review thread).. you'll find the $5.00 answer to the question too... LOL

And Carl.. you'll have to make a return trip to the dragon.. Looking at making the spring run..

a) I don't think it would look right on an SRT as the bumper already has an extra lip
b) its he $5 lip because it was listed on ebay for the wrong price originally and after that first $5 purchase, the price was corrected
c) paint it to match the body color. it isn't a lip that is made for our car so its never going to look exactly right, especially when it stands out as a completely different color
