am i a bad person if....

....i think the stock side skirts and front/rear lips look bets painted matte black than body color? the new shelby gt 500 has the lips painted "satin black" for a "sleeker look" and i agree; it makes the car look more streamlined. anyway, i think eventually i'm gonna get ww front/rear lips and paint them a slightly darker gray than stock, but not body color. opinions?

you're an awful human being and the creature that bore you throughout birth must have been a three-headed cow-goat-walrus demon from the depths of el-diablo.

I mean, yea, its your whip. do what you want w/it. Personally though, I'll be painting/moulding everything on asap

Alex step away from the books I think all the studying fried your brain. Sounds like something from the Passion of the Christ.

I saw some custom carbon fiber pieces on a 94 NSX, looked soooo tight, it was a black one.. Love to get a full set of carbon fiber but it would cost a fortune, oh ya they have that COOL spider kit on Ebay

That has to look a little odd. I mean, like a mixed up body car or something. I wouldn't do it. Maybe the side skirts could be black, but not the lips. THat will look too weird, JMO.

You're not a bad person. You're just a regular person with bad taste.

May look good on muscle cars, but I dunno.....give it a shot, it's your car, don't do what other people tell you to do with it.

Try it if you want that look, it's your car, don't listen to what others say, they might not have the same idea / picture in their head as you.
