JDM Side Moldings... to paint or not to paint
I will soon be getting my car repainted I will also install JDM Sidemoldings when I get my car painted. What do you guys think, painted or go with the plain JDM look?

PAINT MATCH!...keeping them unpainted is just like having a bodykit and not painting it....

I always thought they looked good both ways. If you keep the oem black it sometimes can bring out the body lines of the car a bit more, especially with a lighter color...I think that looks sweet. But also, when you paint them, it can look smoother. It all depends on what you like.
