I think you should leave the lip as is. I think it looks perfect in black.

if you dont have sideskirts, leave it black. If you do have skirts, paint it to flow with the rest of the car. I was kinda in the same predicament a while back and decided to paint it.

I left mine black but I have a black car. I would leave it black until you get those sides. After that the color match looks pretty hot.

The chuki bumper looks really nice without the front plate, too bad in live in So Cal

J-flag would look cool I have a sunroof so it's a no go for me. I got a cool design for the hood though. Hopefully I'll get it done soon.

***Post a pic of your car. It'll make this easier.***

I like mine black with the black roof. Plus it touches the ground wayyy to often for me to be comfortable painting it.
