I'm of the opinion that if you paint the skirts, you should paint the front and rear lips, also. *shrug*

Thats what I think. I dont see the problem with the handles, especially if you add a CF wing on the back. That would help pull the contrast through out the car, Yet keep it clean looking.

well.. i was thinking about just the handles and then painting the outside part of my recently aquired spoon mirrors. (like singlecam screamer)

As for someone who posted about a wing, I already have a WW painted duckbill.. kinda hard to see it.

its a matter of opinion on if you should paint it or not, do what you like do it because other people tell you to.

I think it would look better if your skirts were painted.

Either way though, you car still looks good.
