Default Lower plastic painted or not?

I say painted ... but non painted makes the rear less tall/round.

The vehicles pictured also have the black plastic around the grille painted as well. Gives it more of that GT500 look. Do like.

I think I'll paint mine all around except the black plastic around the grille.

unpainted worked pretty well for the gt500 and it seems to look less cheap imo then painted which makes the difference in the shape&fit of the plastic cladding stand out more if that makes any sense jmo either way these cars are just killer looking

Unpainted looks better, IMO. My car will be black, so its almost a non issue for me though.

yeah but how long will the paint stick to the plastic. Road debris will scratch paint easier then plastic.
