I agree with biggie. It's going to look like you just ran out of money.

It will look just fine bro.. a lot of people prefer that style remember when you add any aftermarket kit it will get rocks and other debris chips if painted as well as scuffs from pot holes driveways etc... and the paint will not remain perfect unless you don't do a lot of driving, or the car is just a show car.. as far as not enough money painting, think you could buy a Cold Air Intake or work on the exhaust instead to make it perform like it looks... heres a V without the paint... you make the call...







forgot to add these pics of the 2008 Nismo 350Z kit it comes unpainted straight from the Nissan factory..

That doesn't look terrible, but it would look better painted to match.

For about two seconds before going through with getting all of the work done that I have now, I wrestled with the idea of going black with the Stillen pieces to match the rocker panels/door sills, but I also thought of painting the front lip and rear valance white and still leaving the rocker that factory black. It looks so much better the way I did it, though. It's cool to see what it would have looked like that first way I mentioned, though.

Seeing as I have my skirts and underhangs painted red... I don't know how much room I have to talk... but anywho...

I think it could look nice, but it'll take away the 'sittin' low' look of the sport additions... just something to consider...
