X front bumper question

Hey guys I see a lot of X's with the front middle lip black and some just the body color. Do any x's come from the factory black on the bottom or is that a platsti dip/painted job?

Middle lip as in below the intercooler? Youre looking at aero kit vs non aero kit then.

+1. It's not an MR or GSR thing. It's the additional aero kit that includes a different front lip, bigger side skirts, and two pieces for the back bumper, along with a gurney strip across the spoiler..

Areo kit and with the mileage I think you might have some play. Check out the classifieds and see what 08's with those miles are going for too.

I see what your talking about. I guess the previous owner removed it for cosmetic reasons?
