I have to get my car painted. I backed into a truck. Long story. Anyway I have a 97 4 door EX (LX in US) with 17's, air intake, tinted windows, strut bar, clear lenses, the usual mods. Anyway, here is the question. Do I paint the factory bottom side, rear and front skirts as well? It is only going to cost me an extra $50.00 and I am already getting the black side moldings done for sure. Then as I was taking my clear lenses out in the front I thought, should I get the black peice of the bumper (bottom grill) painted the same as the car as well? Then I took the top grill out and I realized that you can unscrew the chrome from the black plastic (which is faded). So then I thought do I paint that the same as the car and leave the chrome? :thinking: So basically the whole car would be all one color, with no black plastic or do I leave the factory skirts, and grille or paint just the skirts?

I need help deciding quickly as I have to tell the painter by tomorrow. I am just going to paint it the factory color. (goldish silver) Has anyone ever done this and what did it look like? Thanks,
