How come the side skirts aren't painted?

I think it looks really good from the front, but kinda naked from the back.

Overall

im not a fan of the lip, but the car looks good man.
since the skirts arent painted, u have smoked lights, and cf hood,,,you should leave the front lip unpainted too.

not a big fan of the front bumper or the color but it's decent. Now you need an OEM spoiler too, i think they don't look good w/out one.

Your car is very nice. I would add some amber bumper lights and then paint the side skirts to finish off the look.

looks clean, except that hood, stock hood painted same color would look
great.i beleive carbon hoods look good on grey or black, but...yellow it looks like a huge version of a yellow ITR.
nice job, love them preludes
