Should I or shouldn't I paint the lower part?

Here's my TC..  I plan on putting 17" Bullitts on over the winter so I did a quick photochop of what it would look like.. and in that process decided to see how it would look with the lower parts of the car painted body color instead of the factory flat black they are now.

What do you think?

I lkie the way the body color below the trim looks. I was thinking of doing the black from the trim down when I painted mine but I think the body color looks better now that I see it.

I'd keep it how it is and just add the bullitts. I think it looks cool with the lower body flat black (then again I have a tue tone Bird so I might be a bit biased:grinno: ).

Id leave it as is, and maybe do the gunmetal or black bullits
It's Gumby's fault.

IMO I like the the look on your car in the PS. It all depends on the color of the car. A darker color like red looks great with the black bottoms. Lighters like silver and hite IMO look good body color. Then again, the white/black of my car looks good to...
