    Your back bumper looks good painted but your larger painted front bumper looks a bit "too much" - maybe chrome would be the way to go to even it up (y)

    Much better, and even better than that if the bumper guards were removed.

    I agree with you on this one Dave 100% but it is the color combo along with the design of the tail panel that makes it all work :thumbs2:

    If you are going to body color the bumpers....then do the grill, the headlight and taillight surrounds....do it all so it looks consistent.
