White cars with body kits

My car is Pearl white, yet it has the black trim on the bottom of the side and on the front bumper. Will a body kit cover this, or will I have to paint the sideskirts black to match. If anyone has any pictures of a white 3rd gen with a body kit, please post them!

This is not my car. however it does not have any sort of body kit. When he had it repainted he did the right thing and had the gray rocker panels and, rear lower valance and the front chin painted.
To me this is wht the factory should have done. I know they made the bottom gray as a road debris precaution. Looks better all white. Looks better than a full body kit even.

Yeah, it seems as though they've disabled the sigs. I would assume to free up some bandwidth.

Oh cool. Your car looks great. It looks lower. You haven't changed any of the panels or anything have you? You just painted where the black is, right? Looks good.

Sweet! When i get my back bumper repainted (due to flaking and chipping), I will tell them to paint all of it white. But, in order for that to look good, the rest of the car has to be painted white on the underbody. It will cost me about $150 to repaint my back bumper alone. How much extra do you think it would take for them to paint the sides of the car and the front bumper? I would imagine it would easily take atleast another $300. Do you have any idea of the cost? Thanks.
