Default Color Matched Sideskirts?

Hi,
Is anyone running with body color matched sideskirts? I see lots of carbon flash and carbon Fiber...body color not so much.

I've got a '14 Laguna Blue with Carbon flash racing stripe and black powdercoated non-Z51 wheels. I'm wrestling with Carbon Flash or body color skirts and splitter.

-Steve

I have a 15 CRM and thinking about doing the same thing. Although I like the skirts, I do not want them to look like they are a tacked on after thought. Matched body color might be the answer.

Easy decision. Go with the Carbon Flash Metallic to compliment the rest of the Carbon Flash.

That is, after you wash your car.

Depends on the skirt. In ACS, I would get the Zero1 in body colour and the Zero7 in carbon flash.

Checking your site, I don't see the option to color match the skirts. I take it you don't offer to paint the skirts with color and only offer the primed skirts that I have to get painted locally?

The Zero 7 in red do not look as good as they do with the contrasting CF.
But seeing that grey convertible with the painted Zero 7, I have to say that it also depends on the color. That car looks great.
Laguna blue, if you get the Zero 1 I would consider painting them.
