    I think if you color match the sides and rear, than you should also color match the front as well. It'll look unproportionate if you have the sides and rear color matched and the front still CF.

    i think he's asking if he should paint the sides and the rear gloss black to look like the cf lip... instead of leaving them a dull black...

    Not really understanding the question completely, but I'd say paint everything but the front lip.

    I think that you should paint everything the same color as the car but leave the front lip carbon fiber. What color are you going to paint your car?

    Just get one of those wrap around body stickers to put on the car. Maybe a giant Japanese charecter that translates to "ghetto fabulous." That will cover all the spots that need to be painted. Then you can use the money you saved to buy a huge aluminum wing for the back and one of those Night Rider lookin LED mufflers!
























    In all seriousness.....paint the car all one color, skirts and everything. Leave the lip as is since that's how you want it.

    Paint it all but the lip. It will make the skirts more visible in the shadows, I'm sure you noticed that when black they really don't catch the eye like a kit should.
