First Mod of the Summer!

Well I finally got the balls to get rid of the chrome off my rear bumper. Since I figured I wouldn't be getting a custom one anytime soon, might as well make my stock one look "custom"

to save bandwidth, all pics are here:

anywho, thanks to Christian for his advice on painting. Even though this was all done with just 2 cans of spray paint, sandpaper, and a can of acetone

Oh, and thanks to Bob for constantly reminding us to have protection when painting, cuz if I didn't buy a mask, I would have lost a good amount of brain cells -_-

Even though I kinda like the chrome bumper yours looks pretty good. Really does look like you have a custom bumper and will look even better when your you get the front bumper too.

Thanks for the replies guys, as for the accenting, I bought my runner used, and that's how it came. I was actually planning on taking it off, but since I have so much black now, I think I might leave it on.

Again thanks for the comments, since this was my first paint job.

The bumper looks good but I would vote for removing the accenting. It would look much more clean IMHO.
