Some opinionated questions

Wsup all, i was curious if anyone has pics of a painted sunroof deflecter of the same color as the car, plus i was curious if somone has the painted ventshades of the same color as the car but not the stick on ones, the ones that clip inside the window (weathertech i believe)...i would like to hear some opinions on that or if anyones got pics of em, thanks a lot....just tryin to c if it would have a nice look to it

I had my wind deflector painted black when I owned my 97 I liked the look. As for the painted window gutters, I just looked at my car and I think it would look odd being that there is a half inch metal strip that surrounds the window then you'll have the painted visor.

I hate chrome. only on the inside of a car does it look good

as for the sunroof visor my only hesitation not to do it would be the fact that the rubber strip would still be black and of course that thing has corroded a bit, so if i painted the rubber it would look a bit off. I think I will be taking the hood visor off and just repaint the hood soon.

yeah sooner. i have those laying around in my garage, i took them off when i got my car repainted, but i dont think they would look good cuz i had them paint my mirror the same color as the car and if i put that black trim on it then around the mirror it would look stupid, now unless i can get them to paint the chrome the same color as the car with the door sills them maybe i would do it but im just not sure about it...im very confused hahaha

I will probably paint the sunroof visor someday, but right now i have a bunch of other things on the list first (dynamat rear deck/back seat/trunk, drop resistor mod, AE pedal install, 4 point belts, fix passenger seat, tranny flush with a tranny cooler, touch up all the scratches and paint chips, clean the car, get the body kit painted and on the car, install LTB with my own custom weld points for two beams)

...then maybe I will have time to paint the sunroof visor

some painted there vent shades the same color as the car, it looks bad in my opinion so i wouldn't paint those
