black side skirts would look better if you left the bottom of your bumpers unpainted like it came from the factory. Your rear bumper is painted all the way down to the bottom. The area where the plastic is textured lines up with the side skirts and is normally left as black plastic. The front bumper has the same lower area. I think if you are going to paint the whole bumper, the side skirts should match.
I like the black/plastic trim to match the side skirts though, so I'd want the bottom sections of the bumpers to be unpainted, along with the side skirts.

Im pretty sure im gonna leave the sideskirts black and have them paint the bottom sections of the bumpers black too so im pretty set on that now but still deciding on the roof
