I liked it better white. It just looks like a huge rubber block on the painted bumper now.

Hmmm, maybe gloss would make it look better. I'd say see how that looks.

Yeah,I can't say that I don't like it but it just doesn't do much for me either...I wonder how it would look on different color cars??

I really do like it how it is, nice work. But.. I know you're probably going to have alot of people thinking it came that way from the factory on the "lower" models or something. That would be why I would paint it gloss, it may even look better.

I don't really like it. Sorry. There's a guy runnin' around here, or used to at least, with that section painted, but his came like that I guess. He has a YearOne Formula.

the rear of your car reminds me of a face...

the tails are a pair of huge aviator sun glasses

the liscense plate is the mouth

and the CETA is a mustach



i kinda like it, good work

I've thought about doing this on my red Hawk but have always been afraid it wouldn't look right. What shade for me....gloss or flat?

I think your idea was right, but your follow through failed. The flat black look doesn't pop. Maybe a gloss black would be an improvement but I would consider this a negative mod as it sits now.

yah as it sits now i think i am going to finish it up with a gloss black finish and clear coat...

i am also going to wet sand the center piece between the tail lights...so with a combination of that and the gloss black panel...i think it should turn out pretty good in the end.

and i'd love to get some LS1 honeycombs but i'm just trying NOT to spend money on this car anymore because plans are in the works to get a LS1 WS.6 early next year, so i'm saving my money.

thanks all and keep the comments and suggestions coming, whether it be good or bad!

Those tips look out of place, I'd be looking for wider ones, maybe ovals
but the bumper looks fine

ideally i'd love to get the Corsa clones that Joshua makes...BUT since i'll be getting a ws.6 soon to come i'm wanting to spend the LEAST amount of money possible...so i'll probably go with some nice dual/dual tips from like autozone or a local muffler shop, and get those on there, i've been wanting to get rid of these damn flowmater universal tips FOREVER!
