Doug ...thanks so far its a semi gloss black hood and decklid ... i;m thinking the border will end like a boss 302 hood ... with a red border and pin stripe rather then it looking like you put black hood and deck off another car ... then semi gloss black wheels ? the bottom black .. I;m going to take davids advice and wait and see how it looks assembled ... thanks Dave.

Nope. Just an owner who thinks the car looks better without the rocker painted.

Not the bottom half, just the portion below the doors.
Here are a couple with the bottom half painted:
Here's no paint on the lower rockers. Proportions look wrong; loses the sleek look; as Tom Tjaarda said, "The car looks like a big fat cat with it's belly dragging on the ground."
And here' one with the lower rockers correctly painted black. Note that the lower front valence is also black. The car looks much sleeker.
The difference is even more apparent on light cars (white, yellow, orange, etc.) when they don't have the lower rockers painted - they really look wrong! I find it surprising how many Panteras are missing this accent after a repaint... Lazy shops? Owners or painters not paying attention to detail?
