Default Rear Bumper Painted?
I have a 2000 silver TA and am wondering what color to get my rear painted..I cant decide if i like matte black or flat black. I will eventually get vinyl 30th anniversary stripes so keep that in mind. Help me out! Thanks

imo, either mat black or flat black would look like a primed bumper on a silver car. to me it wouldnt look right, i would say just keep it silver, but to each his own
