Default Polyurethane lips on Black 05 Sti

Just wanted to get peoples thoughts of these PU lips on black cars. I've seen a few around but just not sure they look as great as they do on lighter colours.

Was thinking of getting a can of colour matched paint, or even a gloss black and giving the lip a spray. I'm also probably going to redo the grill as well (still unsure whether i'll cut the subaru badge out).

Any one got some shots of a sprayed lip or an opinion here.

Paint away. Plastic is a more matt appearance. I have used krylon fusion paint with some success but my nozzle broke and it started spraying blotches of paint Go for gloss or at least satin black.

If super keen, carbon vinyl wrap
