What do you think?

Now I can't decide whether to do my bumper strip gloss black too...? What do you think?

Something a bit different...

I was Going to colour code, but metallic paint is such a bugger..

i know, i was the same :)

id either spray your bumper strip the same as your grills or just keep bumper shining it up. it will chip anyway so the black on the black wont show up as much as the metallic paint.

So you reacon the gloss black will look ok?

I hate that they're like faded. Can see it more now the grilles shiny haha

Had some spare time and decided to spray my side and bumper strips a gloss black. They looked aweful against the gloss black grille. I think it looks alot tidier!

yes, it would look good imo. its easy to do aswell as the shape isnt too hard to shape around.

fit it first though and see what you think. the splitter might tie in with your bumper inserts and not need carbon vinyling.

Lowered 60 front 40 rear, referbed the headlights, ktec super sports exhaust, A stupid amount of cleaning polishing and waxing, cold air intake ducting (will take a picture)
