pic request - Feed sideskirts painted same color as car

Hey everyone. Does anyone have this configuration? I always see them left carbon fiber or painted black but not the color of the car.

Thanks

Only been able to find this white one. Looks extremely thin (compared to other pics) and curves. Most pics of the skirts I've seen have been pretty flat and the ones I received look flat unless installation changes the shape.

They sell them in FRP also though, so I figured atleast a few people would have painted those. I'll see if anyone has some pics before I do anything. I have been thinking I can grab some vinyl for cheap off of Amazon and wrap then to get an idea of how they will look as well

i agree, i don't like them too much anyway, but worse-so when they're painted.

What I like about them is that they don't have to clip on to the side of the car. If I got any other sideskirts I'd have a Body shop mold them to the side of the car....most side skirts look good in pics but in person.... I dont want skirts that looks like Lego pieces lol

I like the look of them, but something tells that if they were painted to match the car it just wouldn't look good.

Just figuring out the best way to get this to flow. I'm putting a vertex front bumper on and burnout rear bumper. They're about the same height (the burnout front bumper and sideskirts are considerably lower... ). I think I will have some thin diffusers/splitters made for each bumper in black and do a thin strip of black vinyl near the bottom of each bumper. Should give a nice uniform look. Should protect the bumper from scratches too.

If anyone comes across any painted pics I'd still owe to see them but I agree since seeing these pics I found, probably won't look good.
