Default Getting my car painted on monday, need some tips!

Ok my car is a 96 midori EK. I am getting it painted the same color. I was wondering about a couple things though.

-My side mirors are black
-My side trim is black
-My side skirts are black
-My plastic piece behind my rear license plate is black
-My door handles are black

Should I leave these parts un-painted when I go to get the car painted? I have seen alot of random stuff with EK's. Ive seen everything I listed painted, ive seen only the side skirts and door handles painted, ive seen only the door handles painted. What in your guys opinion do you think looks the best?

It's YOUR car, do what YOU think looks best...if you can't decide, flip a coin.

Well I was just curious what you guys thought looked the best. I dont know alot about hondas and I dont know what people think looks good. In my opinion I think it would look best if I kept everything black, just touched it up, because painting them would be overkill, plus my rims are black so I would like to go for a black and green theme.

I hated it at first, but now I like it. Silver looks a LITTLE better on EK's IMO.

this has got to be the most pathetic, brain dead thing i have seen in a long time.

why dont you just give your car to someone on the forum and have them build it for you.
