DocHolladay23 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Came upon some spats recently Wanted to see how they'd look so I wrapped them in flat black vinyl and threw them on. Now I'm starting to wonder if I should get them painted or not, kinda digging the contrast and how they tie into other things (tint, black lip, black lugs/center caps, black rocker trim, and black roof spoiler). Am I crazy and need to get them painted ASAP, or does the flat black actually look pretty good? I'll try to get some better pics up since these celly shots aren't that great. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/a99b9ee4.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/f511704e.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/3098c3e4.jpg No option for "sell them to me" on the poll [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

LJ08GT Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i voted paint them to match. Im not really feeling the flat black. But in the end it's your baby so do what you think is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 IBTP haha I'd say paint it along with front lip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm thinking that will be the majority of the votes, I'm sure I'm offending people by even wrapping them in the first place [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

BAC5.2 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Paint it. Maybe it's just the cell phone pics, but it makes the whole car look kind of dirty. If the rockers were black, then that would be fine.

Nrw Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 body color, or let me take them off your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xero287 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Keep them black, it looks good since your lip is black. All you need now is a rear diffuser to complete the whole surround lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Few votes for black, as I expected most are saying body color, thanks for voting! If the rockers were black, then that would be fine. Funny you mention that, my paint guy said the same thing Keep them black, it looks good since your lip is black. All you need now is a rear diffuser to complete the whole surround lol I know right? Waiting on you RavSpec! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!!

Gire Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 ^^^^ Yep. rattle can black just screams pep-boys. If you are going for a black / contrast theme, go all out with Carbon Fiber. Body colour blends in better and makes it look like the spats are 'supposed' to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 it's wrapped not rattle canned, but I hear ya. I'm not a big fan of carbon fiber on the exterior, especially if it isn't real, so it's either this or body color, thanks for the input! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!!
