I need help.... paint question for FD

OK. I have a dilemma on my hands.... LOL
I'm confused...
On my FD I have a C-West body kit and i Don't know what I should do with the Side skirts. Over there where the opening is on the fender grilles/ fender caps.... dont know what they are called... anywyas, what should I do with that?? My car is getting painted white, should I also go and paint the inside of those fender openings white? Should I paint the opening inside white? or should i paint it black? or should I like get a mesh grill and put it on the opening... But I never seen anyone put a mesh grill on C-west side skirts...
And also the rear part of the side skirts... should I put mesh grills in there too or should I paint the insides of those holes white? or Black? Let me know what i should do Thanks. Hoping for replies soon...

I'm not quite sure what your asking, or I'd help.

Just make sure this blue shaded part is painted white, and it should look clean.

I would paint as much of the material as I could. You could always add screens later. Or you could paint the shaded blue area a different color if you are going for a multicolored paint job.

Yeah yeah. The side skirt will be fully painted. I was just wondering about that hole that I circled red, if i should paint inside of it or if I should put a grill or something... cuz it looks gay. when u look inside u can that it's like 2 layers... the side skirt is on top of the fender and it looks weird... I never seen ppl put mesh grills in there but somehow their FDs end up looking hella clean! lol

You could put mesh in the front vent, but the rear ones look to be too small, at least the top one does anyway (tough for me to tell in the pic). Obviously you would have to get the clips on and cut the mesh pieces to fit before you paint the skirts. You could get them powdercoated whatever color you want too.
