painted caenter panel

I've been searching but can't find pics of S13's with the rear center panel painted. I'm getting my car painted soon and wasn't sure if I should do it or not. BTW I have the plain non kouki taillights. Post pics please.

I would paint it if you are going for the pure show quality finish, if not, I wouldn't...

If his goal is to win trophies at car shows, then yes, paint interior pieces, if not, then do not paint anything.

really u think so? I always see alot of 180SX's with a color coded panel and it looks phat. I'm either painting my car black or a dark purple, I think with black it'll be hot.

I can see doing it to be a little different...and it don't look too bad...but BigBird is making it sound as if it is a MUST if you're gonna SHOW the car. I think THAT would be the WRONG move. I think he must have misunderstood just what was being painted.
