Default Pre-painted or paint after recieving parts?

Which would be better?
I'm think about getting some new parts.
Would it be better to have shop, that I order them from, pre-paint my parts with factory paint; or have all the parts taken to a local body/paint shop for painting after installation?

call around and ask for prices...that's probably your best bet.

I'm thinking waiting till i'll recieve the parts might be the better choice.
that way the painter can paint my car and compensate for some fading in the rest of the car. rather than having perfect brand new colour parts when the rest of the car is a bit faded.

I have a wrb 02 and the the difference in colors wasnt that bad when i order my scoop prepainted from gruppe-s. You can tell its a new part but they match pretty well

I ordered painted fog light covers for my '05 Aspen White. And the paint matches really well. But then again, my paint is still really new.

prepainted will be easier in the long run and isn't that much more than if you had it done elsewhere. The time lost and hassle of finding someone makes up for the difference.
