I was just thinking. Instead of getting a body kit, what do you guys think about painting the black plastic around the bottom of the car? Do you think it would hold up well or do you think it would get all chipped and ugly from road debris/rocks/whatever?

There was a member on LLSOC that did this on his 2003 LS. He bought the paint from paintscratch.com and had them add the flex additive to the paint. Once he got done it looked really good. I don't how it has held up but as long as it is prepped properly you shouldn't have a problem with it.

I have seen a white LS with painted bottom plastic parts, looked really nice, it made the car look even lower. I think it looks really good on light colors like white, silver or something like that.
Are you going to do it yourself or are you going to have a paint shop do it? Either way, make sure you post some pics. If and when I do it, I'll be getting it done professionally (I don't trust my painting skills).
You mean like this?? I did it about a year ago with about 5, 4oz. cans of Dupli-Color touch-up paint. The only area that hasn't held up very well is the lower front piece. With my car lower, it definitely takes it on the chin, so to speak.
