V-limited Replica Painted
Well i got my v-limited replica lip a while back and it came in a glossy black color, i love the lip, but the color i was not thrilled with so i decided to paint it a semi flat-gloss color, let me know what you guys think.

Agreed... it looks much better flat/semi gloss black!

It looks just about as nice as my OEM V-Limited now, except without the embossed aluminum logo.

Very nice. How do you think it will hold up? Did you use a special paint?

Thank god. I thought the fist picture that popped up was the painted version for a second. lol

I agree it looks tons better flat black, the way it should be.

Did the same with mine - 3 coats of semi-gloss and a replica STi badge also.

I used a whole can of spray paint, probably 8 coats, the lip was chipped to hell before i painted it, and i assume it will chip again after 6 months or so. I can live with painting it every 6 months, its easy to take off and paint. The roads in NJ are just horrible for paint, i will keep you updated though on how well it holds up. The only prep i did was to sand the lip down to the plastic and then I painted it.

lip + fastners + logo + shipping + paint = $300 is there a cheaper price on a lip for my 06 ready to go shipped?

I doubt you will find something much cheaper and if you do its probably crap.
