I like the color matched lip but im partial. i really like the "spare tire on all four corners" look a little better honestly

I love the spare tire look, but they gotta be clean and tires need to be black with tire shine. Clean wheels are even more important than the car body imo.

[QUOTE=Derek's 99 Z;17635063]Been thinking about doing this for a while now and was wondering what everybody thought? Should I keep the polished lip or paint it black? My car has black slp grille, black manta stripe, black berger panel, and all my lights are blacked out so I'm thinking having the wheels all black might tie in better.

I'd say to leave them all black. Unless you're doing some cool kind of stripe. Just dont stripe the lip or the whole face of the lip. Too plain.

But all black looks pretty good to me.

Thanks! I wouldn't mind lowering it a little but I don't think I could get into my driveway if I did haha.

Buddy did it for me cheaper than I could buy the materials and do it myself. I left the tires on!
