Default What color to paint my Veilside rep underwings?..

Hey guys, usually i can make these decisions on my own but im being very indecisive right now so i figured id ask for some of you guys for your opinions. So i have an 03 PPW 350Z thats lowered on some gunmetal Volk GT-C's. I have a carbon Veilside rep front lip on the way and i already recieved my TS style carbon rear diffuser. Im trying to get the car done before IA (big southeastern car meet) this weekend and unfortunately couldnt find the carbon veilside underwings (sideskirt add on pieces) in time so i just got some fiberglass reps from another member on the forums. So now im just trying to decide whether i should paint the underwings PPW to match the car or paint them gunmetal to kind of match the carbon fiber front lip and rear diffuser?... I dont know why im having such a hard time deciding but i really think it will look fine both ways i guess that why lol. Thanks in advance for your guys opinions! L8R

I'd go with gunmetal. I like the accents to match eachother and offset the color of the car. Post some pics-sounds awesome!

I think you need to do carbon under-wings. Maybe shoot these in gun metal for th etime being, but eventually you're going to want them to match your front and rear.

go to ebay, buy and wrap them in dinoc carbon vinyl or just get some flat black vinyl from there.. its a nice shiny OEM black, not like primer, and its easy to clean or remove and reapply and its brand new again.

Its the same stuff covering my entire car.

Doesnt matter the color of your car, this is cheap, a DIY, and will give good results.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback! I dont know if my front lip is gonna be here in time for the meet so im not putting anything on yet and i dont have enough time to get dinoc cf wrap so im probably gonna have to paint but so far im leaning more towards the gunmetal to match the sides and wheels i guess. hope my front lip makes it here before the weekend! (fingers crossed lol)

I would say to go this route, but having the vinyl material and actual CF side-by-side, you'd notice the difference from a mile away.

You should be able to locate some used CF under-wings pretty easily. I've seen them on this board alone 4 or 5 times in the past year and a half.
