    Black accents....

    Can someone please do the "bumper trim" on this body kit in "trim black" or equivalent for me? I think that's why I don't like this body kit is because without the black trim that would be there on the stock bumpers there isn't enough contrast in the front. Also the part on the back bumper as well.



    I'm getting ready to order smoked turn signals and black kidneys as well. I want to paint my trim black, and want to see if the adding the black to the bumpers would give the car the contrast it needs.

    I was thinking something else when I read the title. I'll give it a go.

        Sweet, thanks! Looks like I will definitely be doing that when I paint the trim black.

        Wonder how many cans of the SEM trim paint I'm going to have to buy!

          I wouldn't use SEM, first try it with vinyl.

              around the front and rear fiberglass bumper skins where "Euro" bumper trim would go if you could mount it.

                I have experience with vinyl from back in high school when I was a ricer boy with my 300ZX. Just never seemed to be very durable in applications like that.

                Is that your suggestion because you think it would look better, or just to make sure I really like before going through with the hassle of it?

                If not SEM, what would you recommend? SEM is still a good choice for the trim though, correct?

                    Engine Enamel works well too.

                      Duplicolor engine high temp engine enamel low gloss black looks just like factory trim.

                        I'm just saying that the bumper is all one peice, and regardless of using p-chop, what if ou spray it and don't like it? I'd bomb it with 10 bux worth of vinyl and drive it for a week to see if you want to leave it. the additional paint needs full bumper respray if you don't like it, vinyl peels right off.

                            I had that set on my e30, I took it off due to fitment issues. It was all black so I wouldn't have had the same issue as you.

                              I would prefer the stock bumper, but I wasn't going to turn down the car with low miles, maintenance history and mods, over the body kit.

                              I think the black will make it look more "stockish" and maybe I won't dislike it as much.
