meh... that would not really be a big change and it looks great with what he did. It could also be risky in the long run mixing paint types one on top of the other, which would really show up with white behind the potentially scratched black paint. I mean you can't exactly do proper prep sanding work on just that part of the inner lip of the bumper without destroying some of the white paint, potentially giving a rough, unfinished edge. It might look good in the beginning but could get pretty rough looking as you drive the car more. I'd advise to leave it alone, it looks great with what you already did.

I've seen that car in-person many times(being as we're in the same car club), and you can't even see any crinkles or bubbles up close. Plus it was all done in vinyl

^ Well, I noticed it in the picture, not saying it was a bad job because the front if flawless, especially around the worthless tow hook cover haha. I just don't feel like going and cutting a thin strip to add to it, I'm happy with the way it looks now.


Thanks to everyone that voiced their opinions I backed into my parking space at work today so I could see it when I walked up at the end of the day, I'm a dork lol

I used vinyl for the middle strip and painted the grill flat black the other weekend.

I like the way it came out.

Picked up tons of bugs on my 40 min. venture to dinner at my brothers, so excuse those haha


It came out good, you did a good job on it, i think i will do mine this weekend...lol.
Maybe the next time i'm in town we could hook up and do a photo shoot or something.
