For a GT, since you have the painted side skirts, I would have it painted CS style.
I personally am not to big of a fan of the solid painted Classic Chin, unless its on a darker color.
I have the CDC on my car, you can see it in my sig, I didn't paint it because I have black side skirts.

After driving myself crazy about this same delema I ended up leaveing it unpainted. I'm happy I left it alone, for now. It would be easy enough to remove and paint CS style in the future if I change my mind. I don't think it would look as good painted all white. Good luck and post some pictures when your done.

+1 to painting CS style or not at all, you also have to take into account how beat up that chin spoiler will get and it being painted will chip easily.

I would install it unpainted first. If you don't like the look you can always pull it off and have it painted CS style.

+1 on the beating it takes. My wife doesnt think shes parking unless she bumps the curb with the front tires. Needless to say, I have had numerous scuffs on the lower part of my CDC classic. I suppose on the bright side though, its a testament to the strength of the screws and acrylic tape used to mount it since she hasnt been able to tear it off yet.

I love the look of the Classic chin. I'd leave it unpainted or go CS style

Car looks great Alec I'm glad you didn't paint that chin spoiler! You need to lower that thing with the pro-kit and you will be set, I already see it in my head!

Everybody's already made the comment I was going to make, so I'll just say I agree except to the fact that an "all painted" one still looks good too..

but I like mine black..
