unless your car is black it looks ok. but i seen many a4s b5 and b6 unpainted and painted lowers, painted lowers looks sexy, its like wearing clothes that matches, you feel good about it lol. if that gives a good example look at it
unpainted


painted

For some reason, I am digging the unpainted B6 better than the one with painted lowers.

I'm guessing those BBS are just too hot.

if you don't want to do it yourself then just check your local body shop. I was quoted for $200 to paint all my lowers, then I said f*** it and bought the body kit
