I like the VIII lips not painted but I prefer the IX painted, or atleast most of it painted. Keeping the middle cf is cool.

Personally if it was real Ralliart I would rock the CF and after i got any chips or scratchs, being that low to the ground, I would paint it. It is your lip though and I'm sure painted would be sick as long as you don't paint over the Ralliart logo hahah.

Either way, post some pictures of it on the car

It's not the replica, and it's not painted, but it's a WW IX.



To the OP, please DO NOT paint the ralliart lip. It is a very rare piece, and people will pay you a lot to own it. If you wanted a painted piece, get the replica or SE lip and paint it as much as you want. Selling the Ralliart lip will pay for the brand new replica piece and painting it. Think about it!

that's the most pointless thing i've ever heard of. to buy a carbon lip and then paint it? it's not saving any weight, so it's basically there for looks. ralliart lips are retardedly rare now.

if it's genuine, i will buy it from you. mine is all ****ed up from driving. i've got chips all over the place and need a new one but can't find'em. i say sell it and get a body colored SE lip.

Not a fan of the half painted Ralliart lip, I'd stick with one or the other.
