I thought the GT500 came with the unpainted rocker panels? Anyway, if you want, I just removed the unpainted rocker panels from my V6 and put on GT ones. I'll sell them for a good price if you're interested.

Best,
Mark

It does

Mayo I think that is a good idea also. I was dead set on keeping it black at first but I think I may see what the body shop would want to paint it.

Marky82 I may take you up on that if I don't paint it. Send me a private message with how much you want for them.

I dunno, one of the many reasons I like the S197 is because it doesnt have the black trim at the bottom like the new 2011+ mustangs. I believe Dodge and few other car manufacturers have also jumped in on the black trim. I agree to paint the lip the vehicle color.

Dan that looks really good!

+1 on painting the front lip.

I think I'm in the minority that I like it textured black. I like the contrast

If the side rockers were black, then I would say to leave the lip black. IMO, I think it would visually flow better with the lip painted to match the side rockers. My side rockers are the vinyl black, so I painted my front chin spoiler black to match the vinyl color.

That looks good, the black rocker panel would be nice too.

Thanks for all the input guys. I took Marky82 up on his offer for the textured black rocker panels, and in the near future I'm going to get the GT/CS rear bumper to finish it off. I like the contrast of the black and gray, and also even though my car only has 32K miles on it the painted ones are already showing small dings in them from the tires throwing up rocks. I'm thinking the black ones will be more durable in this aspect, and I bet that's way all the new Mustangs have the textured black.
I'll post up some pics when they come in and I get them installed.
