Default GT3 RS Black- Paint rockers/bumpers body color?

Just curious if anyone has done. Black Weissach .2 GT3 RS- Thinking about painting the rocker moldings and rear part of bumper, spoiler risers, and putting carbon ends on the spoiler.

Murder out the side windows and do a sick set of Street HRE wheels. Purist- sorry.

This car has a rebuilt title, I can do whatever I want with it without hurting the Porsche Gods I think it would look sick with gloss black side skirts, rear part of bumper, and spoiler risers and some sick HRE 3 piece street wheels.
Give the track car a slick street look. I wouldn't gloss the front bumper lip- it hits too much

In my opinion it doesnt work, especially leaving the front lip. In addition, it will look like crap after a minimal amount of time, rocks kicking up and such. When playing with design, you gotta think balance and transition tones, painting everything the same misses that. I highly suggest photoshop ur desires to see,

with PPF I think most of that can be overcome with wear, but yes I don't like leaving the front lip, but it could never be painted and last very long.

This is more balanced... That said, middle doesn't match rear or front. Opinions... We all got them.

the white looks awesome. I think that’s a clean look. Black would be more subtle but still worth it IMO.

This GT3 has gloss carbon lip and sides. Gives you an idea of how gloss painted lip would look. I think it would look pretty clean on black.

I forgot i did this on my previous black GT3, i painted front lip and side skirts but kept rear in carbon, here is a video that shows the front lip well

Also when my RS was midnight green i did the lip, side skirts and rear in same green as body color, this green is almost black so this video
should help you make your decision

What HRE 3-piece would you think about doing? Here's a 991.1 GT3RS we did a few years back on HRE Classic 300's.
