Default Should I have my lip on my rims painted??

Hey, so my mechanic said he would be able to sand down my silver lip and paint it black? How would this look??? Is this a good idea?? pros and cons? Should i go with if its less than 100 bucks to do all of them.

Who thinks I should go with it?

Here is a before and after picture with my crappy photoshop job.

Just go with the red like i did. you wont really notice anything if you go black, if you want black you might as weel just get new all black rims.

I like the silver lip. The all black look looks unfinished IMO.

I think it would look sick if the lip was red so that it would match ur brake calipers. But idk what look ur trying to achieve if you looking to black out ur whole car then paint it black.

I tell you what if you tint the headlights and replace the Grill with a black billet no lights... It would be bad to the bone.

thanks guys, now im really considering it. My theme was really to black it out, i have covers for the headlights, but i usually have them off since the cops hate them around here. everything else on the car is basically backed out.
