Default Has anyone done this with an ACI splitter?

I have been thinking about putting one on my car but having it black, even though my car is silver. Anyone do something similar? If so please post pics, thank you

I was thinking of doing black splitter, skirts and a black spoiler like the ACI.

I did it to my Torch Red coupe. I think it looks a little more aggressive. Also you can touch up small nicks with a Sharpie.

Man, those splitters look sweet! I just wish my car wasn't so low that it would get destroyed by the first parking block that I hit

You'll only do it once.
I put 17 hours into prepping, painting, wetsanding, and polishing mine. 10 days later, the wife beat the hell out of it hitting a parking block.
After another 12 hours, I had it good as new. She hasn't driven it since. Best time I ever spent!

Here is the link with pictures as to how I protected my ACI and I'm slammed. I love it and I think it's a must for anyone with an ACI.

I'm lower than your set up but I have 4" of clearance in the front, not 2.75". Why is your front end so low?

The rear isn't lowered as much as the front. If I were to lower it further in the rear, it would bring the front up some. Also the overall tire and wheel height may be a factor

I painted mine silver, I think it hides it too much if you leave it black, but to each his own.

I think the black looks great. Especially if you pair it up with a black lower rear fascia.

I have an MSG vert and I think black would look nice.
