Title: iS lip spoiler question.
Post by: FL318is on February 11, 2007, 09:13:19 AM

Guys, the clips that are used to install the iS lip spoiler,  are they visible after install?  I read where light color cars should use the white clips.  I have the black clips and a alpine car.  Should I paint the clips or will you even notice?

if your lower valance isnt bent in any way i dont think you will notice, i have a black car with black clips, but i changed the clips when i switched to the "is" lip and the car had white clips on it origanally, you couldnt enen tell so i think you will have no prob w/ the black clips.

You will barley see them if you can at all.

I would go with white clips, but that's just me. I try to be most careful when it comes to small detail such as this.

You wont be able to see them when the lip is installed, but if you remove it for any reason they will obviously be seen
