Hey all, i am tossing up the idea of painting my mirror surrounds and the so called rear spoiler on my SX corolla white like the newer Gti instead of the standard black. I have included 2 pictures, the first i what mine currently looks like and the second is what i am concidering doing.


which one do you guys like better? remember, i am only talking about the mirror surrounds and rear spoiler.
I pinched these pictures from the AE92 register so if they happen to be your, thanks very nice rides!

Sorry guys, that isn't actually my car above. It is a dude's from the AE92 register that looks quite similar to mine. Only difference is i have the stock sx rims. I also need some tint however anyone got a rough idea of what it would cost?
I think i may just leave the spoiler and mirrors black and give my bumpers & grill a nice new coat of white instead.

My SX is red and I will be spraying the spoiler, door handles, mirrors and a few other bits... The window surrounds are staying black as are a few other fiddly bits just to break it up...
However, on a white SX, i don't mind the black spoiler and mirrors...
And I'll be getting 5% tinting all round soon at a cost of $180...

Something to smash when you can't see where you're going and hit something in a parking lot.
