That's a tight color. Paint it first. makes a huge difference.

well the reason i'm asking is i don't want to get the new lights and they don't fit exactly like the stock ones and the have to adjust the painted bumper. are aftermarket lights the exact same size as the stock ones?

They usually are from what I understand. I got black housing lights for my car off of K2motor.com and they fit perfectly, no problems at all.

It's bad because it looks stupid and ugly.. There are a few cars that run around here with unpainted kits... And it looks ugly like hell... I'm currently thinking of that silver new beetle with that green unpainted body kit... LOL wtf put a body kit on a new beetle..
