Well thanks everyone, it was just a thought I am gonna finish up all the other stuff I was planning to do to my ride in the next month or so. When I'm done with all that I might take this mod into consideration. Thanks for the input; the board seems like it is split 50/50 on the idea. We shall see when the time comes

And a special thanks to Hamann5 for doing all the photoshop and such I'll think about that setup as well

I would definitely agree w/ the majority and say don't do it! Your DPE's look sexy as hell the way it is. White lips is unique and I'm sure it doesn't look that bad, but your setup right now looks way better in comparison IMHO.

no problem man I had similar thought about doing body mathcing lips however I had black and black works easier then white.. the only cars that can pull off the body matched lips are ones with exotic colors and also with those wheels I would ahve a few more exterior mods as the wheels will stick out from the rest of the car.. with a more aggresive body look you can pull that wheel off.. however the ps of the style I did also calls for the same aggressive style mods however my ps is more subtle and can be pulled off with fewer mods as the black blends in more and the hint of white adds jsut that right touch..your wheels as is look great so I don't you need a change however if you do I would only go with the ps that I did and before you do that I would get a spilter and few other things before I did that..good luck with your choice and if you need a ps or somthing let me know and pm me

Not a fan of the white lips, but white centers and a chrome lip is a good look.

I have time attack on mine.. however I wouldn't do it to your 166's.. however painting them all glossy black might look hot..
