Painted sport trim /lip kit?

Out of curiosity, has any sport hatchback owners painted or wrapped their sport lip kit to match their car color? If so, could you provide photos?

I like the black trim contrasting on my lunar silver up close, but from further away, the lip kit makes my car look less lower than it really is because my mind sees the bottom line of the car as where the paint ends. Not sure if that makes sense.

I'll be painting my ikon front lip and oem mud guards sometime in the next two weeks to crystal black pearl to match the trim. I'll keep you posted when i get it done!

I do plan on wrapping it, but not the same color. I have the Sonic gray, so I'm thinking I want to have some contrast to offset the light color of my car.
Current vinyl color that I'm leaning towards is the 3m color flip deep space

That’s exactly what I want to do with my civic! I don’t like the silver bar that goes from one headlight, across the grill, and over the other headlight...was it difficult getting that piece off? I think it’s actually 3 pieces? I have never worked on a car before and have 0 experience, so I joined this forum to get help!

The Sport model comes stock with the center grille and eyebrow blacked out. If you wanted change it out to the black one or paint it. I think you have to take off the bumper and removes the screws from behind then switch it out or paint it. Taking off the bumper wasn't hard, more of scaried of breaking the clips. As long as you take your time and don't pull too hard on the bumper you should be fine.
