Looks sick bro! Actually diggin the black on the rear bumper. Of course it wouldn't work on my car but do u have any pics that might be a little more clear? Just trying to see exactly what you did to it and those pics make it a little hard to see it...

Very interested, as I've been planning on doing ALL of this, including something with the bumper. If you can get some closeups

The back bumper in black like that reminds me of a Berger panel in a 4th Gen. I like it.

Looks great! So u just went from the top groove in the bumper straight down and under? It looks similar to the Berger style panel. When I see some day shots, I'll consider doing the same time mine but I'm considering doing my whole car satin black...

I did mine a while back although I curved the rear bumper to go with the exhaust. I got my inspiration from the newer CTS's. I should have started a thread after I did this but regardless, here are my pics

i was about to do this to my front and ran out of paint i think it would look good with the black grill... i also want to black out the line in between the fogs and brake ducts

well i carefully taped off were i wanted to paint and then i covered the exhaust with some plastic bags.. then i sprayed about three light coats on there (i think i did mine a lil to thick) try and have it light and even... the paint is really easy to work with and hard to make run(but it will)... try and take the tape off before it dries for a clean line... if you wait till it dries then youll have to follow the take with a razor like i did... they came out pretty clean but if i look close its slightly jagged... oh well i am more than pleased with how it came out...
