it does look green in that one pic. its actually battle ship gray. the kit IS painted. its painted with textured paint that replicates teh black texture on the existing plastic parts. didnt feel like being one fo the crowd and color matching everything. you know how peeps get textured mouldings? same idea with teh kit.
in this pic you can better see the color of the wheels.

i actually had some flat black that i was going to paint the bracing but never got around to it. i have had all these parts for the car laying around for about 7 months and about 3 weeks before the end of summer euro cruise here in hawaii i started working on it. the night before the cruise is when i lowered teh suspension and put on the body parts(after hours of fitting) and i was jsut too tired to paint the braces. maybe one day i ll get around to it if i dont sell the car first out of hatred.

thanks for all the comments and constructive comments too.

I can understand the look you're going for but to me unpainted bodykits shout RICE, sorry. :thumbdown
yeah unpainted kits are pretty weak but mine IS painted. to match the black plastic under the doors and the stock front and rear bumper bottoms. if the parts were unpainted theyd be gray prepped fiberglass

This is true, it definitely would look super ricey if you left it in its primered state. My bad about the thumbdown, here's some props for being different. :thumbup:
