I had a gloss black lip kit on my white trans am and it looked good. It was funny because at a glance you're right you don't really see it but the sun catches the gloss and 90% of people that looked did a double take. Made me smile.
I also have a yellow 09 and plan on painting the hood, spoiler, lip kit, and rims gloss black

MojojojojojoSC on here has a red balt with a black lip &black rims & caps on his wing, looks pretty good. I say go for it, but don't do jus a yella stripe between the body an the lip.. it'll make the lip kit look cheap imo

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

The orange one IS a base model

There was a local guy here to who had red with black lip. I never liked it much. IMO it looks like you bought a lip kit from another car and couldn't afford to get it painted to match your car.
