I think you're doing the right thing to paint it white, i mean it doesnt look standout in black IMO.

to me i think that looks awesome..

do you have a shot from farther away with the whole car in the picture by chance?

its either this setup or black painted center with STI lip underneath... and matching painted black diffuser on the rear

I don't have other picture and I already put the center lips inside it box to send it to the painter so can't take more picture for now,

the think with the black center on front bumper is
it will make our small car look even smaller (not wide),
since the black part is thin and the width is not that wide and not that short (compare to the side Modulo Lips that I had).
I mean black center looks nice on a Mitsubishi Evolution,
but Evo is much wider and lower in overall profile than our car.
at least that is my personal opinion.

a black diffuser on rear bumper though, now that I like
because the black diffuser part is very large and it does make the car
look wider from the rear.
I am talking about the Rear JDM Mugen Fit RS rear diffuser.
I plan to buy one as soon as budget allowed

I was actually thinking about just getting that section painted or wrapped, digging that cover though. Definitely something different.

Someone with a lot of rep must've repped a post of yours. In your UserCP it'll show who repped you.

My Front Brake Pads is almost gone after only around 22k miles !
First I want to buy Honda OEM pads, but after shipping the price is about the same
as buying the Hawk HPS or EBC Green Stuff on Amazon...
finally decide on EBC Green Stuff:
EBC Brakes DP22041 Greenstuff 2000 Series Sport Brake Pad

I was planning on doing the pads this spring, then discovered that Power Stop makes a kit with upgraded rotors and high performance pads. Then I discovered Goodridge makes a steel braided brake line kit. So now I'm planning a full brake upgrade...

I have Centric rotors + Hawk HPS, it's a good upgrade to the OEM calipers

Since I live next to the ocean my OEM rotors rusted on the cooling vanes but these Centrics have been rust free since they are "E-coated"

The Power Stop rotors are Zinc coated apparently. I've also never heard of Centric before? Maybe its my sheltered northern life where parts that don't fit on lifted diesels don't get talked about. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a truck up here with upgraded brakes. With all the extra weight they like to pack on them, you'd think someone would've thought braking performance was important...
