Yes Or No?

Yes or no? Be nice because it's just a thought after I get my new lip that will resemble this one but it will be a little thicker. I will also be painting my Brabus grill emblem red also but the thin red line on the splitter lip is just a thought I want some opinions on. It probably won't happen though unless I get some good responses.

The main question is YES OR NO on the red line on the outer edge of the splitter lip?

My skills with editing are not good at all but Ii think you can see my vision...and keep in mind that this is not my car...my car sits a lot more aggressive.

NO. I think that is very borderline "riceboy". IMHO- takes away the class and luxury of MB. Subtle red accents are fine, just not overboard.

On the fence on this one. I think I like it, but I probably wouldn't do it on mine. Kinda sets off the blacked out car though.

I think Zorro did a good job, we'll check it out tomorrow at the meet bro or at HMS, just tape it and see if you like it, if not toss the idea out.

The taping is a damn good suggestion..this way you can see if you like it ahead of time.

I'm a little torn on the idea, I like it but I don't, I agree with others, you might get bored of it after a while, and taping it on first to see is a very good idea. But when it comes down to it, its your car and if you really like the idea, then go for it!
