I recently got into a little accident messing up my hood and bumper and its almost done at the body shop. My car originally has the black side molding on it it but it dosnt have the door moldings, and they havnt painted the strip on the bumper black yet cause they didnt know if i wanted it black or leave it green. Or if i should have them paint the rest of the molding green.

Now im asking for your guys opinions cause i dont know what i should do?

If your not planning on running door moldings than i would do the bumper strips body color.

Whatever you do get the moldings youre missing. It doesnt look right without them.

I think the opposite i think it looks really clean without them on the door. But my vote is to make them green, but i also like the black as well. Either way its a really clean stang and will look great both ways.

Eventually im going to get black wheels with a polished lip, would it look better black becuase of the black wheels? I leaning toward this idea what do you guys think?

If i go black what kind of black paint should i go with, semi gloss or matte, or other? Im thinking semi gloss but im not sure.
