painted my lumma kit finally, and the font bumper i've been wanting to paint the lip black, but when i plastidipped it just to see how it would look (before i paint it with something permanent, this peels away), i was a little unsure about it. anyways i peeled it off and just curious as to anyone has any suggestions, or maybe not paint it at all. i cant find anyone with this bumper so i can even find any ideas online.
heres my front bumper.
heres it with an idea i had to paint the lip (plastidipped it just so i would be able to peel it away)

I had the same bumper before I sold the car. I like it all white but the black wouldn't look bad if you have more black accents to match

I prefer the all white look. With that "lip" black, it looks like the standard m aero kit or M5 bumper. And I'm assuming you went with the lumma kit to avoid looking like everyone else.
Can't wait to see the installed pics!

I also prefer the all white. I had the ASC lip on mine and it was black. I liked it, but often I thought it was softened from the dark colored roads and became less visible. I went back to white and it seemed to stand out a bit more.

Like. I think the black look is cool if you have the roof done also, maybe di-noc it? Where do you gets this and how much? Been thinking about doing a front facia update and like the look of this one.

yeah i finally painted it! did all the work myself, including paint. got the front bumper on and side skirts. was suppose to install the rear today but got called into work so will have to wait for saturday. the bumper actually looks way better with no painted lip, been getting a lot of good feedback from people about the kit, but i want to wait to post pics until i have the rear installed, roof vinyl wrapped black and euro sticker, which should all be done Saturday hopefully, Sunday for sure.

you would have to make your own mounts, they dont have any fog kits for the lumma kit. im actually going to end up adding some fogs in the near future, i just havnt found the right fogs i want to add yet, so in meantime i just put a grille. i dont see it being that hard to add fogs, i just havnt found the right fogs that i like, i dont even use fogs, so its not on my priority to-do list.
