Better question would be to ask where do you intend to find one? they have been discontinued for awhile

Top one is not black, it's Carbon Fiber

+1

If you are able to get your hands on one, I'd go with Carbon Fiber -- IMO.

IMO - that front lip won't go well with the ings lx sides and rear, it's not aggressive enough. If you plan on not adding the side skirt and just going with a lip and rear it'll look unproportional unless you're dumpt. Notice that 1st pic the tires are tucked.

With that said... I say red unless you plan on painting the bottom half black.

As far as CF..you get the idea from the pic..BLACK is what I'm considering.

Here are some pics that are close (not exact skirts and or V1 lip) to what I'm talking about ( V1 combined with INGS sides)..to give you idea:

Those are all the wrong side skirt cept' for the 2nd black car.
Ings have 3 different version and the rear you have on is the LX version, the red pic you posted are the Ings n-spec... 2 different look mang.

The 3rd black one had greddy sides and the silver have cwest which is not the same side skirt I'm talking about.

I like for them to match personally. I think the only way a black or CF lip looks good is if the side skirts and rear match. Like the CS bottom line kit.

Definitely red. It just seems flow better with the rest of the car... I feel like carbon or black breaks up the front too much.

Red unless the lip is CF.If its CF...go with a Mines.
If you go with Red,it better match your other body mods.
"You are going to put"...when is this gonna happen?
Its gonna be a replica.
