OEM ZL1 Rockers on Black SS

Looking for some inspiration. I have a black SS vert and am thinking about what color to paint the new ZL1 rockers I have. I was considering all gloss black to match the car. However, I've seen some black cars with the lower more of a flat or satin color similar to the ZL1. Please share pics!

I currently have an SLP front splitter and future plans will include a 1LE diffuser with quad tips and rear spats.

Thanks!

Is the splitter painted gloss black? If so I think the side skirts would look better gloss to match. If the splitter isn't painted I would leave the bottom of the skirts raw.

^^^ This exactly... Match what you have and it will look great all the way around.

Thanks guys, and yes, the front lip is painted gloss black! Just needs some polish.



1JEWLDSS Your car has been an inspiration. I like the color matched skirts and spats. I'll probably do the 1LE rear diffuser like yours with the quad tips. I'll figure out at that time whether I color match the diffuser or leave it.

Hahaha! I was lining up the rockers with the car wondering what the white rockers would look like on the black... J/K!
