Default Got my OEM Optional sides...

Here are some pics of my ride after i got my oem optional sides. I decided to get them painted Flamenco Black as opposed to color matching. I wanna go two toned...which is a little different (and i know alot of you guys don't like it), but hey, i like it, and that's all that matters





I'm on vacation now, but when i get back i'm also gonna get the lip painted flamenco black. I'll also be getting black or CF mirrors to finish off the exterior styling.

it IS painted...painted the stock black of integras (not the plastic black). I'll get some better pics up when i get back from vacation. The pics suck so you can't really tell if they're painted black or unpainted. They're actually really shiny

from a far it looks good, but also looks like it's not there and makes your car look kinda high.. but up close I could see how it'd look cool

i think he's just trying to be cool and unique. but hey its his choice. i think if they were plastic unpainted, it wook look ok...but Flemenco Black Pearl and milano red just clashes. sorry they don't go together

If you want to leave it black, leave it black. I don't see why you want to get it painted Flamenco Black. IMO it would look much better color matched.

Makes your car looked higher off the ground than it really is.

I would paint them to match the car. The black makes the car look like a 4 x 4

Not so good, it looks like a cheap way out with Krylon.
