what kinda lip are you talking about? Stock IX lip? Ralliart replica lip in urethane? or IX SE lip? if it's not carbon, color match it. ESPECIALLY if it's just the stock IX lip. it'll look retarded painted black.

Is it this one?

I actually like the look of non-carbon black, and was wondering if that lip could be polished and waxed, as-is without paint, or is it not dark, or "even" enough in the finish to do this?

Same question applies, how is the finish, or lack of finish, right out of the box?

You have the exact same lip and color Evo I have.

Color Match it.

^ Rice with black lip. I see too many JDM Honda Boys with black lips. Not a fan at all.

Its like you are too poor to get it color matched.
