Default Painted Rear bumper to look like diffuser
Just wanted to know what your thoughts are on this. I found the pictures below from the Vossen website (I do not own these photos). Looks like the owner had the rear bumper painted to look like a diffuser/Tom's rear kit. What do you guys think? I have an SGM so I don't think it would look good on dark colored cars. I kinda like it though.

Wow, that actually looks nice. But I agree it most likely only suits white cars.

looks real good, but I feel it would be awkward on dark cars.
