Default New color for ground effects?

I have a front bumper cover here that I am about to get painted Galaxy Silver to match up with my car. I was thinking since I am getting that done I might have them paint the ground effects on my car. My first idea was black but I thought that might blend in too much and almost look like I don't have ground effects. What color do you think would look the best with my Galaxy Silver car?

poka dot?? i paint it galaxy silver same as your car color. there's not a whole lot of dark color that go well with silver. since your car is already lowered and being all silver i think it stand out very well. definitely get black wheel tho don't go chrome cuz it's just going to look too bland.

Pink poka dot with purple ground effects? Then it would REALLY stand out lol. I guess ur right I think I will just have them paint the bumper and be done with it. More money to put into the motor then too.

Like you I had thought about painting mine too. Had thought about black or a dark charcoal metallic but was afraid that it might make the car look like it's sitting higher since the grounds would blend in with the shadows under the car. At this point I've decided to leave them silver like Amy suggest but I am still thinking about it in the back of my head....

I noticed that! Think of all our cars lined up. I guess silver it is and will stay. Just got a quote for $325 I think that is way high for just painting a bumper cover.

Ill keep with the silver theme lol...

Id keep it silver too. Black would look good but I do agree with the others on how it might blend in with the ground and such...so keep it silver..
