Wrapping JDP front lip with vinyl patter?

I need some contrast to my fit. I purchased JDP's front lip and am debating on whether or not to wrap it with a patterned graphic or paint it to match the car. Anyone on here got some images of a front lip GD or GE wrapped with a patterned vinyl graphic?

Paint to match or go CF. I think the sticker wrapped bumpers looks tacky.

No offense to people that have it just my opinion. Its a trend that I am not into, just like people dont like the trend of wide wheels/lowo offsets/poke/and negative camber

I'm not big on the CF look. I bought the honda OEM fake carbon mirror covers (because iKona tried to screw my ass on his) and they look good, subtle and blend well with my black fit, but I'm not into the look as much as I thought. I'm definately going to wrap those in something (maybe black and white checkered pattern like mini coopers have available).

I'm kind of on the fence about the lip though. I think the wrapped lip will look unique but I'm floating that tacky line as well. Painting is the easy was out and I know it will look good but I want it to stand out somewhat because JDP did such an amazing job on the design. Damnit!

Paint or leave it alone.
Checker vinyl will be tacky.

In the end it is your car and do what pleases you. If you think it will look good then do it. It's only vinyl and if you grow tired of it you can peel it off

^^^^^ That looks good. But I also think that vinyl wrap is tacky but to each is own.
