IMO, it looks kinda ugly especially since the front is usually scraped and battered.... I'd get an S4 front bumper instead of painting the front lowers...

painted lowers looks bomb... especially on a lighter color car where its very noticeable...

but even on a black (like mine ) it makes the car look a lot lower, and more aggressive.
