Default C4S Painted Side Skirts and Rennline Grills

For anyone thinking about having your C4 side skirts painted, I would suggest you do it. I just had mine painted and had the Rennline front grills installed and I think both were a big improvement both aesthetically and functionally for the grills. Here are a few before and after shots. While having the grills installed they also painted the radiators black which really cleaned up the front. Thanks to STG for the body shop recommendation. I think the photo's appear in the wrong order but hopefully you notice the difference.

Looks great! Small details that make a huge difference.

A great looking GT Silver 4S!

Very nice. The painted side skirts make the car appear lower and wider. Very nice job!

Looks good.

Let us know how well the paint holds up on the side skirts.

After 37K my unpainted side skirts show a bit of wear and tear from road debris.

A subtle but very nice difference, I could see myself getting that done at some point.

I would highly recommend it. It looks much better in person than the pictures show.

The body shop person said that the sills had taken a few pretty good rock hits underneath and suggested I have some film applied. I'm not a huge fan of that but do plan on having the sills wrapped in a month or so after the paint has cured to be safe.

The radiators had also taken a few good hits. This shop straightened the fins and then put a coat of black paint on. Again the pictures don't do it justice but they make the front end look 200% cleaner.

Inspired by a local car show I decided to take some better pic's.

Stumbled upon your post and wanted to ask a few questions.

When you had your side skirts painted, did they remove them or paint in place? Also, after all these years, how well has the paint held up.

Any recommendations for someone considering to have this done?
Thanks,
