    I chose other because you have not given the details of "the look" that you are hoping to achieve. If you keep the chrome bezels on the tail lights, go with chrome bumpers. What color are you planning on painting the car? Some colors are going to look great with chrome bumpers; some colors go better with bumpers painted body color to match; and some colors look good with black, white, or silver bumpers. Are you painting the tail light panel a different color? I ask all these questions because they all have an effect on my opinion (like it really counts anyway).

    I have no bezels on my tail lights (brazilian), and the bumpers are a flat black because they are in the original fiberglass gelcoat. I like the look, but then I get bored easily and it could change to body color. Problem with that is that my car is silver...and silver paints on bumpers just don't look right in my opinion.

    i think a painted silvtr would look good like on that red car, even if you dont have any stripes. my rear bumper is painted silver "chrome" just because the original had faded off.

    speaking of stripes IMO other then side stripes they should only be on the hood and trunk. once it gos down the tail panels and bumpers it really doesnt look that great. on any car, not just mavricks.

    body color... i dont like it

    i think chrome is the best way to go no matter what color you go with everywhere else

    Doc Brown: Well if you want to time travel you gotta do it with style!
