Default Should i spray my body kit?? help decide!!

hey guys, after months of waiting, the body kit is finally on the car, apart from the rear bar coming soon. in the pic you can see the skirts and flares are black, and the rest is rosewood. (rear spoiler getting sprayed on saturday).
Should i leave the skirts and flares black, or spray them the same color as the car. sorry bout the quality, i had to resize the pics down. and the quality dropped.

cheers all
scott

I'm also going to do my door handles in the near future. It will really tidy up the appearance of the car.

How can you even contemplate leaving them black?!

Sell the kit, lower the bastard and get some nice wheels.

Can't believe it took 9 posts until some one mentioned the wheels

What is the point of having flared gaurds without big wheels?

Yeah and spray it...............

Yes definately spray them, and at least put shiny stockies on it, if not 17's after you lower it.

why spend money on a bodykit where the money would be better off getting it lowered and some nice wheels!!
the front door handles are easy to get off, just take the door trims off and theres 2 bolts on the inside. the rear doors are more complecated, take off the door trims, then theres the damn locking system that blocks the screws, somehow that has to come off, im not sure how at all! also theres some kinda brace that is pop riveted on. gotta take that off too!
but yeh get the bloody kit sprayed!!

remove body kit and donate it to your nearest bin. lower it alot, get some nice rims or stockies and colourcode the bumpers/mouldings and doorhandles. also get the chorme strip in the mouldings/bumpers. will look good after that

I think it looks really interesting! Looking forward to the end product!

100% sure that spraying it is the way to go. Hopefully soon enough you will be able to get an awsome set of mags on there and it will be looking even better. :

Good to see you are going with your own style...some people have criticised it, but they are just jealous they dont have an imagination, they have to do everything just like everyone else!L LOL
