Painting the lip isn't a good idea. The lip WILL hit the ground at some point and crack the paint to pieces.

Yep. I hit mine all over the place. I figure I'll just replace it once it's all beat up.

BTW, I prefer the '99 spec lip:

It just gives the car a little more aggressive look, which I like.

There was mention earlier in this thread about some added downforce to the front. I did notice that my car seemed a little more stable at higher speeds. Might be a placebo effect, might not.

Yes painting the lip is a risk but I feel. I had to do it anway because it had been painted in silver before I bought it.

I do not regret it though I feel it make the car appear more solid from the front when everything is in one color. If one day it will chip off the paint I will simply remove the lip and repaint it. No trouble with that.
