I'll get some better pictures - it's kind of hard to tell the pavement andglare and all...I agree...And thank you Merzbow...It's not set in stone gonna stay that way...we'll see what the future holdsfor it... It's definitely gonna get some drop springs next month...Thanks for the input guys...

So you aren't going to paint everything so it's at least 2 tone?

Cool,but maybe is good to find something to much more the color.He,maybe you are the savier,the chosen one to give hope for the owner of two-tone with the body kits.

The three different colors is a bit much, IMHO, especially since the contrast between the cladding and the kit doesn't really seem to be too great, thus making it hard to see the difference. I would paint the kit white to match the rest of the car, and make the look be like the salsa 2-tone with the kit, which was pretty cool looking. JMHO, though...it's your car...you're the one who has to like it.

It was going to be thrown away... I didn't have to pay for it... It's not going to stay that color forever...I think white is the way to go withit...Painting the gray clading would be a little more difficult than painting the body kit...

Thats a $3000CAD add on at the dealership and you got it free? Not bad but I'm going to have to agree with people about the three tone look. Now if you painted the cladding black to match then Oh yeah.

free is good, but just because it was, doesn't mean it looks good. like others have said, if you don't paint the cladding, at the very least paint the kit to match. there was a vibe a the sema show that was salsa, 2 tone cladding and a salsa body kit. actually looked very nice.

Free is free. But you gotta do somthing with the bodykit. Paint it the 2 tone grey i think it would look good.
