i say paint it, to many people getting the fairmont, gets boaring after you've seen everyone do it.

not much of a fan of the colour coded ones.
the fairmont ones are a better alternative IMO.

I think saying that the painted ones look "odd" is being very very nice.

Be different and dont change it..... Im thinking of going back to my standard futura one. I also think it depends on what color car you have. Dark blue, green or burgundy might look okay? Cant say ive seen any tho.
FAIRMONT FUTURA/GLi
