Has anyone considered painting their lowers in a complimentary/contrasting color? (more)
Out of curiosity and boredom, I was thinking about that...
Two-tone paint schemes are kind of tacky these days (even Lexus doesn't seem to be doing it as much as they used to
, but I was thinking that if having the lowers body-colored can make the car look chubby and such, maybe a complimenting or contrasting color would help and still make them look better than grey plastic.
Perhaps a darker metallic grey for Denim Blue or Amulet Red (heck, just the clearcoat and depth along would make it look better than the flat grey).

Maybe like this:

...instead of this:

It would look better if actually done though, because the clearcoat on it would reflect more than my attempt in photoshop.

Otherwise, what I was trying to achieve in the original photo was this:

...and for reference, this is what the same shot looks like with body color lowers:
