If the parts come in unfinished white test fit them on your car, if you like the contrast then paint them silver, if not you havn't lost anything

I think they're talking about the rear one.. you want the same one Kel has.
As for the front fenders.. i'm personally not digging the ones with the missing piece that covers the front tire. Some reason, that piece looks incomplete. Like they ran out of pieces to create a cover fo that end so they just left it. That or it looks like the car was in an accident and got a chunk of the fender ripped off. I think the one Kel has (the vented one) is a better alternative between the two.
That front bumper is super aggressive so you're going to need to beef up the car to match with it. It won't look right with a really aggressive front end, plain side skirts and a plain rear bumper.
IMO, the reason why the silver bumper with the black bottom looks good, is because it mimics a shadow. Doing it the other way, the silver stands out wayyy too much. Black can be used as accents but I don't know that i'd do silver accents on a black car.
happy bday btw!

IMO...
The other way around (black fenders on silver cars) looks ok because they are made of carbon fibers or painted to give that carbonish look. I think your car will look like you just bought the parts off silver car and couldn't afford to paint them if you do the way you want to do. I would paint to the same color as your chassis color.
Also if you are going to change the front fenders, you might wanna flare the rear or add-on the wide fenders so it won't look weird.
As for wheels, this is what they are.

in the end, it's still your choice, but if you want to stay away from people criticizing your car for being too "rice", then stick with black painted body panels only.
