I went thru this 3 years ago.  Definitely keep it T-red.. to change 
colors is a major hassle to do it right.  I'd think twice about ditching 
the side mouldings - on a T-red car, the black/red color contrast really 
looks good IMHO.  Plus they serve a purpose on there besides cosmetics.

My car was sprayed with a high-end PPG paint, with a slight amount of 
flex agent added to the entire mix to accomodate the body kit.  It has 
worn well and looks great.. leaving the body kit on the car has proven 
to be the right move.  No issues there whatsoever.
