It makes it look like it has a Goatee or something. A really angry face with a goatee.

Leave it black man!

Oh, I think it was one of many such jokes going around my first year engineering class.

The other one I really liked was this (and I was in mechanical eng btw): The difference between a civil engineer and a mechanical engineer is that mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets.

Lol thats funny as **** especially cause the same physics professor said that joke too. He also told us a longer one about an engineer and a frog, but I forget that one. Im in my second year in aeronautical engineering by the way. I considered mechanical but ended up deciding to go with aeronautics instead.

I actually got OEM fogs now all hooked up to the fog light stalk and all that good stuff, I'm just waiting on the fog light trim.

lip looks great. paint the part that wraps to the side of the bumper red... but the lip looks awesome black.
yeah this lip is the real deal, it's made out of strong *** urethane and won't bend back lmao

why do you like the k's lip? It's about twice as much as the greddy lip, doesn't look as aggressive, it's made of the same material(polyurethane), and you have to drill a bunch of holes into your JDM bumper to mount it, like behind those pillars you mentioned. Here's some more pics, it's a nice lip but it's not worth the 425 bucks and the pita mounting procedure IMO.

drive with it black for a while then paint it once you get used to the clearances. nothing worse than painting and fitting new aero only to find out you cant get into your own drive way without f***ing it up.

paint it, unless you are going to get black skirts and rear bumper in black also...

I ran it black, then I painted it, then I broke it ....this was a while ago lol

on a side note, I really want a k's lip someday when I can drop 400+ on a piece of plastic.
