I've been contemplating this for a while. I am planning on getting a front lip or splitters for my car (already have rear splitters, just need front and sides to make them look right). So I am thinking I might be able to save a little money if I just keep the stock convertible side skirts and paint them to match.
Here's my attempt at photoshoping how they might look painted:  what do you guys think? good idea? Or should I just get some aftermarket (possibly stock coupe/hatch sides) to go with the whole body kit?

I don't think that's a good idea. The vert skirts have a thin rubber lip along the top to seal them tight against the body. I don't think the rubber will hold paint for long.
