Default Help me chose half doors

Hey everyone so this summer I plan on getting the bestop element doors for my 09jku but I need some opinions

I am gonna end up getting the soft Uppers so I'm not sure if I should go with what combination:

1) door enclosure kit just black
2) the bags
3) painted to match my white jk

My original plan was to do the bags I like the look but I'm worried it will be so much black. Here's a photo of my jk to give an idea...(missing from the photo is my rr xhd stinger and my new poison spyder rocker knockers that are powder coated black and the insert is white)

I run the element doors on my stone white Jku. But I left them powder coat black from bestop. Looks pretty good with the top down and doors on. I would recommend taping off the skin while your installing the door latch or its gonna scratch the crap outta the paint and of powder coat. I'd like to add the bags to the inside on the rear doors for the added storage.

I'd paint them to match or if that is cost prohibitive, I'd get the bags. I hope the uppers fit better than on the soft doors.

I have never had any luck with half doors gone through a few sets, quite the headache. One day I might crumble and get the factory half doors
