Black Or Color Matched???

My front lip, should it be black or color matched to my car?
Black one.

Color matched one.

if you plan on going black...plan on having your side skirts black as well. If you colour-match then do the same with the skirts/rear. IMO the front depends on the rest of the kit....as demonstrated here





i find the black fronts and colour-matched sides just looks off....and cheaply done....



matching the fronts with your sides and rear is waaaay cleaner



and my favourite Civic of all time........


*note the black rub strips on the doors to match as well

black, match your headlights

Yeah the front looks good black but now I bought a rear lip too and the rear would look out of place being red with the front black. And if I leave the rear black that means I would have to get the skirts matched black like Pucky said. Thats why I'm confused what to do.

really it's just a personal preference....i just think it looks cleaner with it all matching.

colour-matched goodness ftw

Yeah the mirrors and everything isnt going to go black but I think I made up my mind after thinking things through for a bit, I've decided to bring both my front and rear lip to the painter tomorrow and both are getting matched to the car, red.

it really depends on the look you're going for to....some guys can pull it off

Yeah those are some clean ass Civics I gotta say. Thanks for all the input guys.

Civics don't really need side skirts...stock/OEM hang low enough

touche...i didnt realize lol

Yeah everybody tells me that I should get sides lol then I tell them that they are lower than the rest of the car and the front and back that I got just even it out.

Yeah get the skirts for sure. I assumed you already had.

hm....

I'm pretty sure there isnt any skirts anyways but as Pucky pointed out I dont need any because the skirts that come factory on it are lower, or low enough anyways.

yeah most Honda guys I see almost always run stock sides. Most of those pics I posted are of stock sides....most. It's the front and rear that need touch-ups. I'm glad you didn't get a Big-mouth bumper....that would have looked like ass. Mark you're gonna notice a huge difference once your front and back get put on.....HUGE

Yeah I cant wait to get both of them on I think it will make it a lot better. Yeah I'm definitly going with a clean JDM style on this one.
