paint stock bodykit black or CF?
just flirting with the idea of painting all 5 pieces of the stock bodykit black,
or maybe in a CF finishing.....
meaning, front lip, side skirts, rear lower lip and lip spoiler
my 2IS is white and i think it will constrast nicely with the black or CF
not sure if anyone has done it before? pics will be most helpful
just want to be able to visualize it more before i go for it!

I've played around with trying to paint parts with a cf look using cotton gauze, spray the piece black and then lay the gauze over the part and spray gun metal. It looked, o.k.
your better off finding some where that does vinyl wraps and covering the part in cf look vinyl- it's fairly cheap, looks very close to the real stuff, and if you don't like it, you can peel it off.
Now let me get on my soap box for a second...
If your looking to do stuff to your car, just for the sake of doing (because there's nothing out there or what is out there is too expensive for your budget) don't do it, it looks tacky... like big chrome 22's and stick on fender vents on a dodge 300/magnum.
O.k. I'm done

AK47, hartawan: yeah, something like that, but just that it has too much black in it. the stock lip's thinner so i visualize it to come across abit differently. but thanks for the pic...
Giggity : you are right. I am just abit bored hence thinking of what i can do to my 2IS to 'spice' it up...
the reason why i thought of this was because i saw a e46 bimmer the other day with a CF front lip and i thought it look pretty sick.
i will probably give it a miss, might decide against it in the future too
otherwise, i'm loving my 2IS
