DG + Flat Black OEM Lip
very late edit: pics with headlights painted
Sorry guys totally forgot to upload new pics with the headlights painted. Still working on getting some new black rims, going to either buy a rear diffuser or get a bluebat overlay.
So had free time yesterday, so I finally painted an oem lip that I had repaired, I decided to go with flat black to see how I liked it. Painting was fairly easy, dripping was a bit of a problem though so the paint job isn't perfect but you can't tell unless you get really close. I did one layer of primer and probably about 4 layers of flat black, no clear coat. Kinda hard to tell but it matches very well with the grill. Headlights will be painted to match next week, but enough talk here are some pics.
thinking of doing a HD lip on there, shall see in the next few days.

thanks for all the comments guys.
Hmm interesting thought, i do have a set of non jdm clear corners i could try laying a light layer of flat black paint on to give it a smoked look. Thanks for the idea.
Ahh was planning on painting them black and time attack style vinyl...

Ahh was planning on painting them black and time attack style vinyl, but the car was bought by my parents and since i haven't paid them for it i still let them make the big calls. They saw a few civics with black wheels and they no longer approved haha, sure the g would look better but i'll have to work that idea in slowly

Looks pretty good though, will def. look better once lights are done!
