Question on paint for my OZ Lip - And my Rio Red ES

K so after almost 3 years i started to mod the ES lol

Heres the problem
I have already put on the new front bumper and the new rear bumper which needs paint, but for the side skirts i was going to use 3m double sided tape problem is.... Should i put the skirts on now with the tape and pull up to the body shop and say i need it repainted or do i keep them off since its tape and ask them to paint like that? Or does it not even matter lol

And i posted this on Show and Shine because i have some photos of my car anyways and i know someone would be able to help at the same time.

Its all gonna stay rio red even the grill and im getting new head lights because of the fog on the right one

also bought progress springs off a member on here so hopefully this is gonna be a head turner after i put on the gold rotas!




the lip thats going on



springss

Is that the Accolade grille? I'm interested in seeing how it looks painted with those OZ lips.

I think you'll be fine waiting to install the skirts after it's painted.

you can install after paint it should be easy just a little tape along the top.......and the problem with the fog in the lights i had the same thing all i did was take the plastic rubber gasket behind the light off and they didnt fog any more

wow thanks im gonna try that first thing in the morning. Hopefully i can get rid of that fog.

And i cant wait puttin on the springs on Sunday and then just waiting on gettin some cash together so i can repaint the Lip. And yeah im just going to wait for paint and ask the body shop if they can just put on the skirts for me afterwards.

It also is an accolade evo grill. I got it from a local guy. I want it all to be one color so it can look really clean without having it the black and red look.
