why did you have to sent the DPE's back?

i would paint the center of the Modulares flat or matte black and paint the lip IP

i like the modulares way more, but that same scheme would look sick on the dpes, think about it, all black then that white lip, white isn't too flashy so it would look clean, it gets too tacky when a bright color is the whole lip, white would look balla, chrome lips are out.

That car is pretty hot, EXCEPT for the horrid wheels. I vote gold DPEs on an IP or leave it the way it was and get lip repaired. I know you're trying to be unique but keeping it simple often looks the best.

Ew. White wheels will always look tacky and cheap to me.

I like some of the lips that people get matched to their cars but I prefer just a little TA strip.
