like everybody else has said, if there done right and the right color scheme then rock on…..if not,…..FAIL

the eighties-ish Green highlights the deep dish. Normally wouldnt like such a bright color. If other parts such as the grille was sprayed green it would look ricey.

I think painted lips that are done right and arent half-A$$ed are pretty sweet. especially on a set of good looking rims

I agree with many people here. Yes if it is done right. As for the green rims, what else is on it? Green undercar, interior, Ecsta tires (do they come in green?), etc.? I see a LOT of potential…

i dont like them but i guess it really depends on the car and how well the job is done.

yes, but it’s only good if executed right! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3348453

Plus, everyone has their likes and dislikes, I wanted something that hasn’t been over done, as for now, I am the only domestic new era muscle car in the HR area that has powdercoated lips of a color other than black.

I have Candy Blue powdercoated lips on my Wheels, and my car is currently being painted to incorporate the the colors that I used. Why put the rims on the car without the car being painted first? Because I want the painter to color match the paint and powdercoat as best as possible, plus need to make sure the rear wheels would fit properly with no rubbing. And I don’t want to be hauling around the custom rims or a rim for comparison.

And when I say match i’m talking about the Colors complimenting each other. Any Color compliments with black. Just a little American Academy of Art science to drop on every body.

Aug 25, 2009 at 11:15 pm

I don’t see whats wrong. 1.) Nice Paint 2.) The Lips match the black paint 3.) it’s not over done. I tend to see the same ole names on every cardomain blog talking about everything they don’t like. Always dissing this or that…yet they either dont have a car on here or their ride is a rust bucket. This G is nice. Looks better than alot of other cars imo.

If it matches the car….not the case here

MONEYOVERBITCHEZ
Aug 25, 2009 at 7:00 pm

I reackon this car dont match the rims what-so ever! Check my ride out http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3354650 this is what people mean when u match the rims with the car!

i can dig it, i think it looks hot in a video game sort of way and i honestly havent seen it done much so i consider it unique

JoeCool97Formula
Aug 25, 2009 at 6:31 pm

If it matches the car, it’s cool. But that green lip on the other wise black car looks like crap.

adgarz
Aug 25, 2009 at 6:18 pm

that looks awsome….pretty sure i saw this car in san antonio!!!

NemSScamaro
Aug 25, 2009 at 5:41 pm

I like em if they accent the color, or are Color matched to the car. other than that i like the wheels all one color

the whole black spokes and polished lip look is like a plague i had em on my camaro and didnt like it one bit. its not cool EVERYONE DOES IT!

its a bit out of style

COLOR MATCHED AND PAINTED LIPS ARE LEGIT!

Aslong as it matches the car, it looks good. Just like anything else.

nelli23
Aug 25, 2009 at 1:40 pm

Sorry I don’t like green so NO for me! I prefer the polished lip.

Aug 25, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Crome Lips yes! painted lips… be carful. This ones not bad.

CARPLAYER
Aug 25, 2009 at 12:55 pm

i agree with mostly everyone they looks great if mixed with the right theme like take the M5 off of FF4 orange with orange lip looks great or any car with the lip matching the theme

90_teg_
Aug 25, 2009 at 11:23 am

i have to agree that they look good but too many people do it wrong and use totally random color’s that don’t match up at all and that is what turns people off of it… but if its done right it brings any car more to life and give’s it that extra little “pop”…. if you love it you will look at it… if you hate it… chances are… you will still look at it.

KStriegel
Aug 25, 2009 at 11:11 am

they look good it all depends on the theme and other colors of the car

Painted lips are dope…. But Lime Green? It would be on point if the lip wuz red doe.

Dickies_Loca
Aug 25, 2009 at 9:52 am

Personally I like it, as long as it matchs. Most people when they do it are off colored and look bad

MINDGAME90

trill77monte
Aug 25, 2009 at 6:32 am

I like it when the wheel is a dark color like black wheels with painted lips. I dont like it when its painted on a chrome rim…to me it looks funky cuz the wheel looks deformed from most angles like they oversprayed it…

Aug 24, 2009 at 8:20 pm

Man folks been painting lips for the longest. I don’t see anything wrong with it especially if it matches the car’s color scheme.

altimatepinoy

rejybaby
Aug 24, 2009 at 8:14 pm

Painted Lips? YES
Looks tight if you got your color scheme right
Most ppl that dont like, are usually big chrome fans. . .which can be nice but i dont see it being any BIGgEr in the future.

black_balt
Aug 24, 2009 at 7:55 pm

Eh… not really my taste, I like either chrome lips or all black.

Aug 24, 2009 at 4:54 pm

I would have to agree with marvinsjdmcd5. If you Got a nice color sheme with a few other parts the same color as the lip it can look sick!!!

marvinsjdmcd5
Aug 24, 2009 at 4:52 pm

Everyone has their own taste. To me, I’d say if it’s matched up with a nice color theme it could be awesome.

EL-CHAMO

PIchillin456
Aug 24, 2009 at 4:32 pm

I gotta agree with GTwildfire and I actually do like the green on that Infiniti…but I think it would only look good on a few cars.

Silvermane-35g
Aug 24, 2009 at 4:14 pm

should have used different color…like a dark blue or red….or even purple…hmmmmmmmmmm……..

EVO_PWNAGE
Aug 24, 2009 at 3:46 pm

would of look better in all black or with a dark colored lip, but yellow is a lil much.

FordRulesAll
Aug 24, 2009 at 12:59 pm

Yes definitely, I hate chrome it is over-used. It is good to see something different.

TOPlamborghini
Aug 24, 2009 at 12:57 pm

Only when it matches the car. But in that case: HELL NO!

Like that Yellow BMW that was in Fast and Furious, that matched the car.
