Custom Fuse Kick Panels

[Sherbertmelon]

In the footwells on both driver & passenger side those fuse kick panels or whatever people call them are battered, covered in deep scratches and marks everywhere, looks like someone's lent it to their next door neighbours cat for a few hours...

Anyway, I'm thinking of re-doing them, but adding a little bit of flare to them, at the moment I have white SMD footwell lights (Looking to turn them red) connected to my ignition barrel light so they function in the same manor as the ignition light. But my question is would a gloss white colour to the kick panels be awesome? or not so awesome...or just have them sanded down and sprayed black? I'm just thinking white will look pretty awesome with the red lights, but would like to know others thoughts. I'm also thinking of then adding a black/white decal of some sort that states or shows that under neath this panel is not to be tampered with.

Usually with this sort of stuff I Photoshop it first, as that's my profession as a job I like to see what things look like in a realistic scene before I under go any modifications :)
