Post by: sports.racer on December 06, 2007, 09:00:38 PM

What color was the iS lip from the factory, was it body color or did it depend on the main color?

according to pictures from 1990-91 magazines, the color of the lip is the same as the body, at least for brilliantrot and alpine white as those are the ones represented on the pictures, might be different for other colors.

Factory colour is the same colour as the body is painted, doesn't matter what colour it is from alpine white to malchite green

Some people just leave them black as spraying them can be expensive especially with metalic colours
