Hi guys,
I can't decide on should I get tom's 09 kit with factory colour or unpaint,
Reason why I thinking of saving a few hundreds getting unpaint is because I know down the track I will be vinyl wrapping my car for sure, but I'm afraid I might regret in the future.
Your thoughts are much appreciated, if I ask my wife, she will just tell me not to get it...

Bodykits to me add to the look of the car, whether painted or not. I personally have seen it painted, and it looks amazing. I would paint it because I like everything to flow color-wise. But most people might see it as a bodykit and appreciate the look and the TOMS name that comes with it. It is your decision, however. If you know you're going to wrap it, then I say wrap it first before it gets nicked or scratched before you're ready to. Definitely post pics when you're done!

How long before you wrapped your car? No matter how nice the kit, I always think a car looks pretty ghetto when the kit is left unpainted.

If your not going to wrap it anytime soon, I suggest you hold off on putting the kit on the car until your about to wrap it

I ordered mine unpainted. I am taking the body kit to MACO in Kennesaw and have them match paint and do a full monty on my current paint and body. Wet buff, wax, shine and 3 layers on clear coat on EVERYTHING.

But that is just me lol

Don't be ghetto and not paint it. What'll happen when you wrap your car and remove the wrap? Still need paint.

paint them just incase you decide to take the vinyl off in the future you still have a nice painted lip

Order the tom's painted, their paint jobs MATCH the factory paint~ not like paint jobs from local shops which wont match.

hows the fitment?

You'll be doing yourself a favor getting it painted.

Of all the kits, Tom's fitment is the best, also its the easiest to install, no need to shave or adjust *much*.

Yeah, I'm going to install the kit only when I wrap the car, not going to install it unpainted or unwrap, and I'm planning to do the wrap pretty soon after I get the kit, also I think by the time I unwrap the car I will be selling it...
I do understand Tom will match the paint job nicely, but I will have to pay extra 800 then wrap over it..

kvl

On the other hand I'm afraid it will damage the unpainted kit when I unwrap it..sigh..

Why would you think the vinyl would damage the kit while it's untainted vs. painted. Itll be fine.

Never tired it before, so I wasnt sure..
