I think it looks nice. Though polished lip would set it off and make it even sweeter.
Couldn't you sand the powder coating down then polish the lip?
I am sure Sander at TWS could get it done.

to be honest i am not taking a poll to see what others like or dislike. i like it and that is all that counts. comments like it looks like you have spares on or it looks like a red neck racing car does nothing for me.

They look like emergency spares, but alas it is your car and if you like it that's all that really matters, just be prepared for the ribbing cause your gonna get a lot of it w/that look
I was just trying to give you some constructive criticism about having some contrast w/polished lip 
The only way you could even try to pull of that look correctly is you would have to paint your car all black period! and it to would still look a bit odd..IT NEEDS CONTRAST....IE..Polished lip....

Hey AMG_Eric;
No need to get defensive. Everyone has different "taste". As long as you like your car who cares what others think.
You're posting in a public forum, so it's inevitable that you'll come across someone who will NOT like what you've done to your car.

you can approach it like cali and ashman did (the mature way) or you can approach it like 2 others did.

Yeah man we aren't tryin to make your car sound like its retarded, cause I know your still gonna do what you do. I mainly go to forums for ideas and I like critisium or however you spell that- I didn't throw a fit when you pointed out that my wheels weren't real AMG's. Don't be so sensitive and don't be a shnob, you have an AMG model benz and that makes it so much better than mine. (feel better)
I don't get upset and yell at people cause they commonly call my ride a Beemer. But I don't like when a person in a beemer looks at me funny.
