To Paint or Not to Paint?

[PCspeed3]

That is the question. I recently got a black gloss vinyl put on the roof of my speed, I could not be happier with the way that it looks. But I feel that now I may want to paint my mirrors black as well to give it a little more balance. So what do all of you think I should do? Thanks. (sorry if the pics are jumbo)

black out your rims and take off the moldings instead

 

[meha11]

paint the hood and tailgate

I say leave the mirrors white, it looks good.

I think it looks good with them white, why not paint the spoiler instead? BTW where did you get the vinyl and how much please!!

 

[logik816]

if u're going to paint anything, u should go the whole nine yards. paint ur spoiler as well as ur back door hatch, and black only in the middle of ur hood to follow the lines.

Don't paint the mirrors black. It's like taking a step back. Only economy shitboxes have non-colormatched mirrors. Keep it like it is.

nooo dont paint them **** that ....remove moldings

 

[PCspeed3]

well crap, now I have to spend more money haha. I would like to get a black spoiler if possible. I reeeealy want to get a CF vented hood but that a bit steep in terms or price.

perrojordan I got this done thru a family friend that does vinyl advertisment wraps for cars so it was cheap.

 

[MSP2024]

how much would he do mine for haha

 

[PCspeed3]

he said its like $12 a square foot then like 30 to install. Its called Decalzz, he is out by Cobb in West Valley. Te him you know Hunter and he will give you a discount if you are interested.

+1 black rims

yeah dont paint the mirrors... paint the wheels black if your wanting a little bit more balance...

 

[speed3guy]

ya know I was thinking about doing that too. I have a sunlight silver and the thing I did in paint to see how it would look actually looked pretty frickin awesome!! Only thing I might suggest is to not paint them.. but see if anything has like some covers or something that would fit over them.

I wouldn't paint the wing. BUT .. I would continue the black back to the backlite. I think that would look pretty clean, and make the wing pop.

 

[PCspeed3]

That is a very good idea Mr. Breezy, does anyone know how to take the spoiler off?

NAH, get yourself some CF covers for the mirrors, it will give you more of a JDM look plus later if you choose to change things up you can just remove them.

If you take it off later the paint will be unevenly faded.
