Heres my car:

The driver door got keyed so I have to get that painted and thought I'd paint some of the moldings as well. I was thinking of doing the rear spoiler on the hatch and the door molding. Please post your pics or opinions, thanks.

When I painted my hatch, I color matched the door mouldings, stock side skirts, and mirrors, cause I think it looks cleaner, but I don't think you should paint your wing, just my thoughts

Thats what is done to mine! It does look way better.. i recomend it! And the wing looks good black.. if the side skirts are black.. but if you paint the side skirts then i would paint the wing.. just my 2 cents!

I think the mirrors look better black. If you look at the car in two halves, one beings the windows and the other being the doors, the mirrors kind of clash with the flow if they are painted body color, but when they're black, they blend with the windows. Bla. . . I don't think that made any sense. . .
