Opinion needed! Painted Cwest front?
#1

So after 3 months of waiting, my Cwest front lip is finally here to replace my cracked Toms front. I love carbon fiber but I'm not a fan of too much carbon showing. My car is SFP and will have Cwest front, painted Cwest sides, painted vented Seibon hood, Wald rear diffuser plus Aimgain 3 piece spoilers. I just need to figure out the pattern to paint my lip. I did a quick paint on an existing pic of a USB with Cwest front to see if you guys like my idea. My car is WHITE BTW Thanks
How the lip looks stock,

Paint matched with a ton of carbon showing

Now this is mostly paint matched and only some carbon showing

My vote is if you are going to paint it, keep it uniform, and painted on the same plane. I don't like the way you are breaking it up, because it makes it look like two splitters IMO.
I would do something like this. It will look like a subtle lip. That lower center piece looks weird painted like you have it IMO.

So I went on vacation for a week, Royal Caribbean cruise to Eastern Carribean
. So I took the opportunity to drop off my car at Auto Explosion, best bodyshop for custom work and paint in SoCal in my opinon. They gave me a fair price quote on repainting my vented Seibon hood and painting/installing my Cwest front lip! Picked her up at around noon before heading to work today. The result is stunning! A week of no car plus seeing awesome work done on my F making me smile all day! ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
