i say you need to paint yours since it doesn't go with what your car has going

paint everything, including trim, side skirts, grill and lips, and you'd be good to go. Two Tone = [:'(]

lol ej, you and jhs have some of the only two tone Civ's ive ever seen that look good, and they look awesome. Look on your other thread, i told you your car was looking sick as always althoguh you did show me that picture of that red Civ that looked just like you with the side skirts/trim painted to match the car and you know that thing looked ill

thanks for the comments, but this isn't my thread, i say you need to color match everything. like the door protectors, mirrors, side skirts, license plate garnish, rear lip, front lip, grille. sounds like a lot, but it'll look killer since your rims don't seem to match the black trim.

That was great EJ6. I happen to love the two tone on your car.

Also, 98civ yeah paint it to match. on your it would look better.
