Default Rocker paint color--help needed

In the very near future I will be painting my rockers and the shark fins GP white--years of road rash. Porsche painted the bottom of the rockers & fins black.

Paint white only?

Paint black/white combo?

Thanks!

I'm a traditionalist. I would prefer the factory style with body color on top and black on the bottom.

In my opinion , you gotta have a pretty aggressive look going to pull off the all-white look. On a mostly stock car, it's best to stick w/ the satin black on the bottom.*

If you end up going all white, make sure you get the front aprons and rear bumper painted too, otherwise the car just looks like ****.

I painted my door handles as well and really like the look.
