Looked at side-on a car with unpainted skirt, vehicle will look less tall, hence wider, lower - more sports car like. More so on lighter colored vehicles. It's the same reason rear diffusers are generally rendered in black/carbon, the vehicle looks "lower".
I have mixed feelings about them. To me when painted they actually make the car look lower, which I like. But I also agree with it doesn’t flow with the body lines of the black trim as well. Also my black ones are beat to death so you would have to wrap them with ppf. And probably change the ppf every 2 years.
I have a pts coming and will not be adding this option.
That's not possible unless you drive on glass inside a cars and coffee museum. You can wrap them and they still get beat up.
There's a reason they used to be sprayed with rock shot.
Ok if you say so. One track day, thousands of canyon runs and a couple 2,500 mile road trips to total 20k miles but if you say so they must be horrible.
My Black .2 GT3, which is arriving in a week, has painted side-skirts. Was not my build, but close, and I would never of chose them. Now I am going to have to wrap that area where I would never have too. I like the regular skirt because they take a beating and they never look bad
