most of the time i would say paint it, but the setup u have now works, the rims match the black trim and cf hood. The only thing i would change is the rear lip ( it looks too big), and get rid of the chrome grill up front. I also wonder how it would look with red/white tails.

The only thing i would change is the rear lip ( it looks too big),
hfawk:focus more on the center of it, along the rear. Its the same size as the sideskirts. sure, its big along the sides, but for two reasons 1) it matches up with the sideskirts along the bottom 2) it makes a nice level line, like the front lip and the sides....
what other rear lip would I get, some cheap-ass ebay one?
and get rid of the chrome grill up front.
look at the windows, and the rims. thats why I'm keeping it as-is. That, and only the sedans got those grills
I also wonder how it would look with red/white tails.
are you guys color blind or something?

hahanah, I'm just tired of people saying "get the trim painted" so I was hoping showing a picture of a car like mine with trim painted would show them it looks like ass.
I still think if I painted the trim, it would look like ass. thats why they're still unpainted.
ah well

well then...might want to change the thread title from to paint or not to paint to this is what painted looks like. Just a tip, no offense, hope we are still e-friends, hah.
