    Just an idea.

    Too much blue?

    The idea is paint my new (comming) bumper mouldings blue, the air dam blue (if I get a new one) and my bumper minus the middle strip blue. It will probably look better when I match the colors better but I suck at photoshop coloring.



    Didn't get to finish doing it in class, might do it properly later. If anyone wants to try, heres the original.



    I might just do mouldings blue, air dam blue, bumper stays the same.

    Sold it.

    Bumpers would look good black along with the molding around them. The air dam would look really good body color though.

        I think it will look better body color. your blue isn't extremely bright so it shouldn't be too much.

        what looks really awful is when people paint the black strip body color, but leave the bumper chrome. :|

          I'd keep the elvis lips black, but since your bumpers are tucked so much I think body color would look great. 8)

            The elvis lips wont be elvisy.

            I am still on the fence with what to do. My front bumper is in really far so you would only see some of that but a lot of the rear. I really dig the body color air dam though. I have to make that so.

            Sold it.

                      Looks good. I am glad you are getting rid of those old bumper surrounds. The waves were bigger than a lot that I have surfed!

                        I have some front and rear bumper trims that you really need to pick up. I am willing to accept payment in beer.

                            The ones Schneider325 posted are infact the ones I have comming.

                            After looking at it a lot I am going to paint the air dam and bumper body color, leave the mouldings black.

                            Similar to Bob Loblaws.

                              I think that one above looks pretty damn good actually. I'm not sure which one I prefer though.

                              When you get your bumpers painted, take your mirrors in to get shot too. Body color mirros make a world of difference.
