IMO you should either get the thin ones and keep them black, or paint your original ones white. I think it would be foolish to buy the thin ones only to cover them up. I think they'd both look similiar if you decided to paint them.

Only if you're going to paint the side skirts too, IMO.

Maybe the mudguards too (if people normally paint those... I don't know if people do on the EKs). If people don't normally paint those, don't paint them.

Its personal preference really, but plz don't paint the mudflaps, even if you do color match the sideskirts as well.

agreed, please don't paint the mudflaps.

personally, i like the painted moldings. i've also got a set of JDM thin-moldings for my EG and i'll be color-matching them to the body of the car once my car goes into the paint booth.

imo i say dont paint the moldings otherwise they would kind of look whack since you are going to have the black mirrors and the mud flaps, plus by leaving the molding blacks it would match your car better overall, specially if you get the SI-r bumpers.
