Re: painted sidemoldings/side skirts (drkblue_civic)
In all honesty, I thought the point of side skirts was to remain unpainted, bare plastic. That way they took the beating from the road (ie. rocks and pebbles) and wouldn't chip and look ugly. Is that wrong? I personaly wouldn't paint them for that reason.

heres my dx hatch with painted side mouldings, side skirts, lower lip on front and rear bumpers. I think it looks way cleaner this way. IMO

uhh homie not all roads are as rough as you are describing them to be. my side skirts and moldings came painted when i bought the car from honda. for the 3 years i've had my car, the moldings and sideskirts have never been chipped from pebbles, etc. and the car was RED.

I am not your "homie". Oh yeah, RED car's get less debris thrown at them then other cars.
