i say paint everything white, sidskirts lip, etc. It will make your car look way less econo-box style. Then paint those hx rims white and you'll probally have the coolest car on the block

edit:and if your feelin really frisky take off you side moldings, and fill in the holes.

keep the door handles black too...
i would personally go over all the black trimmings with flat black or trim paint so it'll be fresh with the new paint..

the only thing staying black is the door handles and the trim around the window, and maybe the sidskirt. the mirrors, moldings,and lower portion of the bumper will be white.

Paint the mirrors white. Other than that, exactly what this guy said.
