aiight guys i have an eg i used to have the whole wings west r.s kit (unpainted)
but im soon to put a carbon fiber lip, hood and duckbill (all spoon )
my car is the stock captive blue
the question is should i paint the side skirts and the back lip to match the stock captive blue or leave black or gimme sum ideas?

if anyone has pics of egs with either painted or unpaited sidekirts (whatever)please post em i need a visual to see what looks best
thanks

 

Leave the carbon fiber alone and paint anything that isn't carbon fiber. You can always do a clear coat of the color of ur car over the CF to make it have a tint. I think that looks best IMO. But definitely <U>don't</U> just straight paint over the CF

 

Why not paint over CF? I think to have anything unpainted (even CF) can look crappy on certain cars. If he wants to paint it I would say go for it.

 

i dunno man, I think CF pieces make a car stand out, and u can't tell it's CF if u paint over it, unless u inspect it real close. But it is his car. Just two guys' opposite opinions

i was thinking of leaving the carbon fiber items as is and i appreciate the recomendations

i think pictures would help resolve whether painted or unpainted sideskirts and rear lip would look best

or mayb an eg fully painted all the same color ..for that clean look?

post sum pics guys
thanks

 

i say leave it black man ........my bro has a captiva blue hatch sitting outside with all the moldings and stuff black and it looks nicer then painted items......

stay black

 

id say leave it, put on the cf ****, put the money you would have used for paint to make it fast/ faster

just my .o2

Painted looks better in my opinion

 

Both look nice in their own ways,but as I am more racer look kinda guy i'd say stay black.
