Please Vote your opinion....

I just bought the Tourenn Lip Kit and will be painting it in about a week. Out of the 2 choices, which color scheme would you go with? Black the center or just full color match to the cars color?
I have GG coupe.

If you have a black hood, then go with black. If you have stock hood, go with stock.

Tough choice... both look good. I've never been a fan of the rear lip. Get the full rear bumper and it'll look better IMO. :]

Body color. If you ever invest in a CF hood, you can always stick a 3D CF overlay over the center bit.

Not to go off topic here but what kind of tail lights are those? They look a bit tinted as well or is that how they come?

As for the paint job...go body color.
