Your opinion - "Lip" on my FD or not?

I just got my carbon bonnet and I am wanting to bring the black theme to flow through the car. Was messing around with this idea and some masking tape. Going for the RE Amemiya fd racer look. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Of course this would be done with a matt vinyl.

Without the "Lip":

naah, dont think your car needs it, but if you vent with a set of feed sides an say a RE rear difuser in black, then it would look really good

I myself like the lip. Kinda ties in with the hood and breaks up all the red in front of the car. Just my opinion of course, by the way your car is gorgeous.

I like that idea with the masking tape and would continue it inside the ducts (towards the IC and radiator). It would give off the RE-A look a little better.

lip on. That unless you go with some sideskirts that are painted. Meaning not the feed type.
