that's not the point. if you want to paint a lip why not get a MUCH cheaper SE lip painted for like $300-$400. Why waste the money on a Ralliart lip which now are almost impossible to find and even if you do you're looking at a $1200+ price tag, to just ruining it IMO by painting over the awesome quality carbon fiber and the ralliart logo.

Keep it bro. I have the same thing with CF front ducts. Looks more sick that way. I do have the same color Evo you have.

Personally I haven't seen one painted yet but I would imagine it would look close to stock. Personally I wouldn't paint it right away at least.

If you have a slick real CF lip... why paint it? If you want a painted lip, why not just buy a used SE lip for cheap?

If you paint it I would suggest you put the original OEM Silver one back on.

you will never be able to match the paint exactly and in different lights it will look STUPID as the difference will be very noticable... keep it CF man, if its really bothering you that much, get a cheaper copy and see what it looks like and sell the CF, dont let it go to waste......
