Painted Valances & Skirts
What are your thoughts on this? I like the matte look on my car because I have a lot of other matte black going on but sometimes I feel that it cheapens the look of the car. I decided to get some white plastidip and spray it on today. I've photoshopped it before, but nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes. I honestly love it especially from the rear. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this as my next mod along with a matte black roof.
also makes the car look lower

I understood that. It doesn't look any better than the black because it doesn't match. This to me is really no better than a photoshop for that reason. Just my opinion. Just paint it for real so it matches and be done. It'll look great when it matches

I'm selling a set of rockers super cheap if anyone else wants to experiment. That way you don't screw up your only good set. Better safe than sorry.

It's hard to photoshop it since the black skirts blend in with the road/shadows. How much do you think this would cost? $200-300 range?

Thanks! They're k springs. I think the black roof and black rocker stripe will break up all the white. So far I've gotten everything from AM, might hit you up when I decide on rims.

Here's a couple pics of my 08 GT with the black plasti dip accented...
The wheels where also dipped, I'm getting a spray gun before I dip the roof. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and how easy it is to apply.
