love the wheels, lose the headlights and put those damn foglights in a housing of some sort but leave the bottoms black. also, id ask to have this moved to appearance b4 people start bitching.

First off, this is the wrong forum to post this **** in. We have an appearance and cosmetic forum for this reason...

Secondly, if you need <U>US</U> to tell you what <u>YOU</u> should like, then you got other issues. Do whatever you want, it's your car not any of ours.

hah, there it is. i was waiting on that. if you others opinions thats fine, don't listen to others complain about you asking an opinionated quesiton. i'd do one solid color i think it'd look the cleanest imo.

i dont think he wants to paint the rims, just the side skirts and the front lip.
i like the look of the painted lip and side skirts to match the body color, i did my del sol that way. are you repainting it white?

I would paint it if it were a different color but since it is white I would leave it the way it is either way it would look nice to me

This needs to be moved.

I'd paint them though, I hate unpainted body parts.

painted looks better, but make sure they prep them and paint them the right way cause the paint may end up flaking off them like mine

I would leave them black. I left my front lip black and my sideskirts I painted white. Now Im kinda wishing I left them black. Looks sick IMO. If you decide to paint them, DIY with Krylon Gloss White made for Plastic. Works like a charm
