I think they should be left as is. They give your ride contrast, painting them black with plasti-dip will harm the appearance... imo.

They do look good, but I think it would only really work with a white or silver car, they might just look dirty on a dark car, and get some 18's son!!!!!!!

Plastidip can always be removed if you decide you don't like it or just want a change.
