Default Need advice from my fellas...paint?

ok guys need your help on this....i've been fighting in my head if i should pull the trigger on painting the bumpers and side skirts black. I had many mix reviews through my people, some saying looks ricey, some saying it looks really good. I think personally i'm leaning more to do it but then again i dont know, i dont want it it to look ricey, i'm not 18 any more..lol

but without further ado, here is the paint job in question..please let me know

how she sits now......



how she would sit in summer 2011....

i prefer all white as you have it.
less black than the full bumpers and side skirts might be ok too

Maybe paint the a-pillars and the hatch black.

The bumpers and the skirts in black looks out of place on the car, like it's off another car waiting to be painted white.

Just my .02, it's your car.

If you want to paint it black just do the lip on the bottom of the car, not the entire bumper and sides

^^^

If you are set on doing multi color why not just the front lower lip, and if you really want to go all the way around do the side skirts and the slight rear lip but an equal height on both . I agree that it would look like the car just hasn't been painted yet if you did the entire front and rear bumper. Or you could Di Noc it up!

Why would you paint it black?? That would look like you slapped a kit on it and didn't paint it.
