Even though mine were the Blaze Red, I still had them repainted to match the body. They are a real pain to remove, and when removed chances are the metal brackets come off the fender extension and rear of the side skirt, along with breakage of the plastic pin "wings" when the skirt is removed. Guess they could be painted while on the car, but.........
Another consideration is that now the repaint will be base/clear while the OE is single stage. We purchased our car new and wouldn't have had it repainted, but the wife was hit in the driver side door when stopped and a minor accident became a living nightmare and that's putting it mildy.
Good luck.
