looky here, lower rear valence painted on the white F-Type. I already had planned to hydro dip mine and then wrap in xpel.

Yup...side skirts are now body colored as well.

That's the main reason I went with a dark color (dark sapphire) as I believe those body colored parts look better dark/black.

I know I'd be wrapping them black if I had a '16 white R...those body colored sills ruin the lines to me and make the car look bloated.

+1

That's why I didn't get AWD (was going to). And I live in Canada!

Mine will be painted gloss black by the dealer prior to delivery. I agree completely, it's hideous on a gorgeous car.

Totally agree. It looks bad in body color (unless the car is black), and they should have left it black on all colors.

You may want to consider wrapping them in CF if you like the look...

Haha I couldn't live with myself if I not only wrapped the car but did it in fake carbon fiber. As far as I'm concerned if it's not real it's not good enough for a $100k car. I'm certainly not one to wrap a vehicle. I'll spend the extra $1000 to make it permanent.
