What do you think about this?

Here is the pic of my car. My future plans are to
-PC stock rims glossy black
-Red pin stripe
-Black grill with Chrome Fuji

Now my question is this should I order the JP sidestrikers and paint them black, Ive seen many Z/G owners doing this with full side skirts? Can anyone photoshop those on.

Personally, I think it looks perfect as-is!! I'm trying to picture black sidestrikes on a red car, and all I keep seeing in my head is a cheap Ford SUV with faded black plastic rocker panels and bumpers. IMO, I'd paint the sidestrikes VR, then get that Stillen splitter painted VR to match.

Not feeling a pinstripe on the car man. It would have looked cool back in '85 though.

I would do the rims flat black and not glossy.

I would NEVER pinstripe the car.

Definitely do the grille.

Black sides will look horrible. If you get them, paint them the same as the car.

OIC. Where would you do a pinstripe on the stock wheels? There's not much room at the edge of the rim for it to be very visible.

Personally I like the way your car looks right now. Everything coordinates. Even the chrome on the headlamps. I think it looks good. Maybe the only thing I would do is paint the reflector on the headlamp VR.

OK then pinstripe on the wheel will look good but I still say matte black instead of glossy.

Looks better than I would have thought. Not my taste but it doesn't look horrible. Personally, I like the OEM bright silver on the VR personally, I think the black wheels will be too much but it may be right up your alley. One man's opinion: Don't do it.

I'd say glossy if you must PC the wheels and only if your car is OB. If it's not OB, do matte black or semi-gloss.

How about just getting new wheels so you'd still have the stocks to go back to?

^ I like that one! No pinstripe. The painted grille looks good too.
