with some armor-all it is nice and glossy. Pdrift I know it come flat black when you don't put anything on it, but I am asking for opinions do you think it looks better black or will painting it make it look that much better? I know my car came two tone stock but painting the bottom to match is absolutely the best mod I have done to the car and will do it again to any LS that I get. I love the single color look. Not that being said I I may feel the same way about the lip after I paint it. It does look pretty tuff black though...

What do you all think???

Paint it.. leaving it as it is wouldn't really look good on a lexus.. well, it doesn't look good on any car imo.. but it would just look like a little hatch back civic with some lip :P
but yeah, that's my opinion..
does anyone know how much that wald executive lip kit costs? it's beautiful :\

im not so sure PD, mine came in awhile ago and its almost the same color as my car, was it all of europe or only the UK model that came with the black lip, or PERHAPS (lightbulb just went on) its the same as the usdm cars where the bottom lip of all the peices was painted black on the 90-92 and 93-94 had color matched body peices

either way mine aint going on until I get a more important mod out of the way

hey Lsport why didnt you put those eyelids on too? they look pretty good with the whole package!

Yeah it was flat black till I hit it with the armor all, just like my tires are before I gloss them up. I wasn't about to leave the lip all ashy! Anyway I know they don't come painted just like my LS never came one color but I think my solid color paint job was the best mod I could have ever done. I am picturing it painted to match and seeing how it would look blended into the bumper and looking smooth. I think I like what I am picturing...

that's not an OEM lip at all, it's a knock off lip from raceonUSA.
