I've seen pics of people who painted the lips and skirts silver to resemble the Monte Carlos or older Z24s, that's about it.

the problem i see with this is, if you got a yellow balt or any color, and you go and paint the whole lip black, its gonna make the car look more like a base model at a glance (it will look like you don't have a lip kit) thats why most ppl just do evo mods, cuz u can still see the rest of the lip there, instead of creating the illusion that its not.

right! u cant fully see the orange one but at a glance it looks like a base model. i'd say, if ur gonna paint the lips, do a color, thats all. not that much really mixes with yellow...

idk mines silver, i wanted originally to paint the lips red, or the top 'face' of the lips..

i painted the front lip i got flat black solely because it's going to get mashed on everything and will be easy to touch up. ive always hated the whole 2 tone lip kit though. it looks like you bought it off another car, and were too cheap to get it painted.
