I was thinking matte black for mine at first. It actually looks really good with the sides to match. I want to be a little bit different though and go with the paint matched. I think it brings the car down more and adds some nice flavor. If you do yours show me some pics!

I might be having it installed when it gets painted for no cost anyways. I'm getting it quoted this next week. You can count on me stopping by that same day anyways. lol.

I have the same lip, but Chargespeed replica. I'll be grinding down the rough edges and having it repainted along with my front bumper as well.

I hit up Sherwin just now and they can get a order of 12 cans minimum of 197 for a single stage of my CGM coming out to about 16 bucks a can. Cheaper than buying online. However I only need 1 to two cans. Then we'd still need to buy primer, adhesion promoter, basecoat, clear and then that'd be everything. With 1 can of each that comes out to 54 bucks w/ shipping.

Silvers not that hard to color match imo. Especially if you're painting parts like a lip or skirts because they don't really stand out. ill have to check out jerry's.

I heard you can use the same lip as the sedan with slight modification.
Buy the Chargespeed Replica from Ebay for like 80 bucks shipped and just try to fabricate some way to make it look good.
Sounds lame but I saw some pictures of a REALLY nice like 06-07 wagon on Nasioc with the lip. If I find the pics I'll post them.

Yeah, the replica one is on ebay for 45 bucks right now. So buy it while its cheap and mod it since it's nothing special.

I thought the front ends were the same tho.

So did I to be honest... I remember reading something about the wagon being slightly different though.
I may be mistaken for another year wagon though...
Either way. I think it would look great on a wagon.
