I'd say no since you have your painted Stillen chin. Otherwise I'd say yes...

Thanks for your input everyone!

I'm still kinda on the fence though. I LOVE the look of the rtr rear splitter for the 2010-2012 models, and for 2013 I think it would look similar with the boss 302 rear valance I have. But that rear splitter would look dumb without side splitters to match.. I'm just not sure how it will look with the front chin not being black. But I do have a lot of black accents on the car that they would go with... Hmmm

Not with painted rockers.

If you did get them then I would paint them to match. For such a thin pieces, the splitters command a lot of attention. They unify with the stock rockers and bulk the cars body look.

Adding the thin black piece to the painted rockers will lessen the visual impact. They will just look like a piece that's been stuck on just because.

Painting them and not the rear would look weird IMO though. Hmmmmmm

Paint both the side ones and the rear then. Honestly spliters arent supposed to be painted but it would look odd unless you got a front splitter.

Painting the back wouldn't look right. But you're right. I think it would look odd w/out a front splitter to match.

Make one! That's what separates a lot of those cars in the magazines from every day cars. It'd look awesome too. Does anyone know the guy on here that was recently featured in the newest issue of one of the magazines? Sterling gray 2010 with modified intake manifold that utilizes the gt500 supercharger? Makes all the splitters and stuff himself? Someone has to know who I'm talking about.
