Default Paint Early next week but 1st i got a question

so my car is going to the body shop to get the rust removed and the car is gonna get painted early next week. and i was thinking about painting the sideskirts to match the color of my car instead of leaving it black. Can you guys help me make a pick and if so show me pics of EG's with painted sideskirts. That would really help

HOLY ****!!! that looks exactly like my little brothers car that we sold in february, haha...it was a red VX with that same exact muffler, and that was his only mod..

btw, dont paint the side skirts, you need a little contrast with the red...if you had side molding, then i would say paint the skirts and leave the molding black, but since you dont have them, stick with black skirts, it will look alot nicer

there is such thing as too much color on a car

i think it depends on the color and whether you have the mirrors and lips painted.

i just realized the pics above are your car. i say definately paint them.

the only time id say not to paint them is if you ahve a front and rear lips that are unpainted. and especially if the mirrors are unpainted.
