repaint s4 questions

what do you guys think about having the body mouldings that are black on my car painted the same color as the car when i get it repainted here in a week or so?

personaly i like the look when its all the same color but also i dont want it to look like i was just to lazy to either take them off or cover them up so i just painted over them.

im not going to be doing any of the body work or painting it will be perfessionaly done

all opinons appreated (sp?)

thanks

I personally like the black strip on the S4. When mine gets repainted, the mouldings are staying black. I think it breaks up the car, and makes it look more aggressive. Just my $.02..

Me too, that's exactly how I did mine when it was repainted. I even bought new side strips.
