I got an idea last night and once I had a few hours of free time today I made it happen. Actually it's not paint, it's 5 coats of Plasti-Dip, can be peeled if I don't like it. But I do like it, it kinda adds the look of a lower lip without the cost. Gives the red reflectors and exhaust some contrast too, and blends well with the black trim and emblem.
I've done the same to 2 other cars in the past and the PD holds up great even after years. Getting it clean and straight is another issue, but I've gotten pretty good at it. The trick is, draw a line with a piece of pinstripe, then tape everything off, then PD, then once dry cut on the pinstripe where the PD meets the tape (this way the PD won't tear when the tape is removed, nor will the razor cut into your paint), then remove tape, there you go.
Anyhow here are some pictures:
