Or decide for yourself. You could always leave them black until you can't stand looking at them like that any longer, and just get them all paintmatched then...

Hm. Well you could always go with a test paint with some cheap rattle can stuff, just to see how it looks. Take a picture with the sideskirts OEM black, and with them glossy black, then compare them. You'll easily be able to find a totally paintmatched silver ek on here to compare those two to as well, so then you've got all 3 examples for you to decide on. IMO, the shiny black everywhere is a fine line between trying to make things extra clean, and having your car just look like it's got a bunch of parts on it from a black car, but that's only my opinion.
