Ok, Im confused. What color is your car? If it is any other color than what the SI front end is then paint it to match the car.

Why would you think a gunmetal front end would look good on a purple car? I don't understand why you needed to ask the question.

Re: ...To paint match or not??? (..::ferio::..)

Ok now I get it. You were asking whether or not to paint the fog light housings the same color as your car. You never said that. You asked if you should leave your front end gunmetal or paint it to match.

I was like WTF?
