is my gf crazy...

I saw your pics Jamie.... love it.

I dont know if it would work on the white. I really think it would make it look cheap.

i say leave it
 
i am a girl...and guys are crazy too :) i dont like it, it actually makes it look more stock looking its takes away from the slick look of the p5 thats my opinion paint your door handles black if your gonna do anything. i did that to mine it turned out nice i have a yellow one though.

i like the look of your door handles.....that would be an idea, i like the look of a flat or wrinkle black. i wanna redo the cowl cover and wipers and junk....wanna redo my mirror covers too

The yellow helps bring out the black. it looked really nice on the yellow but i personally dont recomend leaving it like that. too much black on the car with it.

looks like u painted a pin stripe on an RC car with a sharpie

LOL
 
I hope your turn signals really dont have black dots over them. Smoke the whole housing, not just an area.

Also, I like the black Valence on your white P5, I also like the blacked out orange markers on the front bumper.

Tell your GF that you won't do anymore painting to the car(unless it's touch up).
 
i recently just painted my rear valence,

i showed my gf and she liked it as much as i did but she made a comment stating that in the back some things are painted, the front has some things painted, but the sides dont have things painted. she said to paint the sides like this

is this a crazy idea or what? any input will be appreciated.

I'm so glad I just joined, and happened to come across this thread! My car is in the shop getting re-painted, and I asked them to paint that valence on the bumper black. I didn't have any pics to go by, to see what it'd look like though, and seeing yours has confirmed it'll look sweeeet! I also requested the side rockers (valences) to be painted black (but not the bottom side of the bumper). I saw the pic posted with the side done as well, looks good. Only diff is I wouldn't have the black trail along the bottom side of the bumper, I'd have the back bottom black, then the side bottom (from side view of car) you'd have a gap of no black, and then the sides black. And the front bumper won't have the black bottom, instead it'll have a black lip. Hope that makes sense...

Edit - I don't personally like the side trim piece black... just my opinion though. It does look clean without the trim all together, but I prefer to leave mine on... as I noticed a couple of dings in it, even though most of my door dings were higher up.
