Blackbird Appearance Mod Dilema.....

I dont want the blackbird styling anymore..

But the problem is my rear bumper, its black in the middle.

Would it look like **** if I left the rear black, and the rest back to factory standards....?

I need opinions

The only blackbird mod I have on my car is the CETA. There is no other black mods at all and I think it looks just fine.

well the stripes on the hood, i just think is too "loud" for me. Makes my hood look flat in my opinion.....basically takes the curves out of the hood.

I would drop the stripes and go for a stainless steel front plate bird. I think you will thank yourself in the end.

Absolutely. Then you have the chrome match the lip on your wheels and the black match the center of your wheels. I think it would look awesome.

I would. I think they look nice, but ultimately your car will look alot cleaner and much classier. Either way your car still looks like it's going to rape somebodies 4 banger.

Toss up a pic of your car and I'll do some 'chops, if you want of course!
