jep! that's my plan too (for the front that is)... after someone tries the fitment. they make pretty CF, but reminds you quickly that it is made in taiwan when you try fitting it onto the car.

I dont think its needed actually. The paint already has a sheen to it, plus its made specifically for these kinds of exterior projects. It's very smooth and feels just like plastic, so I dont know if paint on top of it would even adhere very well. I'm gonna leave it as is and see how it goes.

Yes. I just used a red scotchbrite pad to basically removed the shine from the clearcoat. Then I cleaned the surface very well with a paint prep solvent wipe and sprayed the paint on. I did 3 light/medium coats of paint. This paint goes on very well and evenly.

Yeah, I hear ya. I hope the fitment is good on these lips tho, because I've seen a bunch of bad reviews for the EVO-R rear diffuser. But we'll see what happens.

The paint you chose will hold up for some time i did all four rub strips on a MKIV GTI (2001) with the same product, held up pretty damn well, and then i traded the car in... but simple washes kept it clean.

That helps make that stupid center light look less like a boil on an elephant's ***. Good job!
