I think you should leave it, the black and white theme is really unique. But if you want something that flows smoothly and for the unique qualities of the kit to be seen then painting it body color is the way to go. But if you want people to know that you have a body kit on the moment they look at your car leaving it black is a good choice, although you won't be able to see the unique features of the body kit from far away.

Paint it body color or paint it black, but dont just leave it like that. The bare poly finish looks cheap.

I'd paint it white, but I think the headlights look fine.

Unpainted, it reminds me of a 3rd gen.

I prefer it painted white, but even if you decide to keep it black, actually PAINT it black like its been stated before.

This is not a bad Idea, didn't think of it, or if I paint the rear & front Black, and the sides White.

to be honest it looks good either way, but it would make for a cleaner look if it was painted

How is he copying my look?
First he has a 5th gen second he is going with a simple black and white theme.
Unlike some other fat f#ck on this site that wants to install the exact same CF parts as me down to the emblems to achieve a white and CF 4th gen replica of mine.

IMO paint the kit gloss black...I think painting it while will take away the agressiveness of the front end. The only problem with painting that lip gloss black is its going to be stone chips galore lol...I think the bare poly looks a bit cheap but that said it is still the most durable look since there is no paint to chip

since you already made a decision on the paint, tint your front two windows...it will look much better.
