Painting lower trim?

Painting lower trim?
Are people painting their lower trim to match the color of the 997 turbo? Would this have a negative effect on value? What’s the general consensus on this?
Color is guards red if that matters.

I don't think it can effect the value as it was a factory option,but it can profoundly change the look of your car (in a good way) it really makes the car look lower ,it's an optical illusion that only works on light colored cars & not dark colored cars.Only issues are they're high impact area's & get rock chipped easily so clear bra will help, but even the clear bra can take a beating at the edges of wheel wells ,where the front lip comes around & the rear diffuser behind the rear tires & i don't have to tell you what happens when you try & remove clear bra from non oem paint .I keep 2 front lips so i can always have a good one on while the other ones out to paint .Hot tip look into the Oem Aero kit front lip the aftermarket one on Ebay thats $150 & try the Gt2 side skirts they have a nice aggressive but subtle look to them & not all boxy like some of the aftermarket ones are.
