Guys, i have a maroon Teg LS, now ive done the ek side skirts thing and the accord rear lip, now im stuck as to whether or not i should spray all the black mouldings and the skirts, or a combo of sorts or to leave it as is... need some opinions, i am leaning towards colour coding everything atm.

Any input is helpful!

Yeh colour code the mouldings... NOW wen i look at tegs with black side mouldings.. i just think stock stock stock.. and it just doesnt look right.

So just respray mouldings n lips.. Its wat i did, but i replaced my mouldings with thin JDM ones ;)

arjay... where on earth did you get them and how much did u pay? ive been lookin for thin mouldings for soooo long now and i havent found any. Although i could get them via ebay, but i cant justify spending 300 just to have them on my car. also i wanna see some pics of your ride as it stands now!

Colour code them man trust me much cleaner look.. on the topic of mud flaps.. i took mine off bout 6 months ago but have recently lowered my car and thought it would look so much hotter with them back on so they are.. not to sure why but to me it looks so much better with them on.. :rolleyes:

I had the opportunity to spray my moldings but decided against it after seeing a few other red integras with it done. I think the black gives it some contrast which is gooood! All colour coded does look more 'custom' though. (or like a lazy panelbeater didn't bother to mask anything)

I also open my door into the side of our house on a daily basis, so they'd look very ratty very quickly. :(

I'd only consider it if I were going for a respray, and had the thinner moldings.

lol wow this is old.. and i still havent finished!

I have 5 out of 6 JDM thin moldings and ive painted all those and they are on the car.. looks sweet, but still trying to find the last one so i can finish

And also, i decided to keep the skirts black just to spice things up a little
