aero lip matte black AW look

So I have a matte black and AW look theme going which I know is not the first. I currently have matte black - rims, mtech diffuser, front grill, window trim, performance wing, side mirror cap and panel interior trim. I just recently bought an aero lip and deciding to wrap it matte black to go along with the side skirt extension I bought too. ive never seen anyone do this except for this one dude here on e90 who has a cf aero lip. What ya'll think? Keep in mind that I will be installing my matte black side skirt extension too.

It's cool trying something different, but IMHO, it will look unfinished. And from a distance I think your car will appear to be sitting higher than it is.

The unfinished look was what I wondered already but never realized about the car being high. Thanks for the input. Might just paint it AW. Hopefully I don't come across your same problem about it being hard to get painted. Got it on ebay as well but not baysonR

You could paint the center of that bumper alpine white, kinda similar to this
M3 if you want some black on the bumper

Thanks! Never seen that before. Looks good. But i decided to paint it AW but i went to 2 shops yesterday and they quoted $280 and $317 on the other. They claim it's because they have to prep it and primer it and that it pretty much like painting a whole front bumper. If that's the case, I'd rather get an msport or m3 rep.
bimmette, did you say you got yours painted for 100 bucks?
