Default Front Bumper

Has anybody thought about painting these black on a white or lighter colored 2GS? The ones going vertically, of course.

Hm. I'd go searching for pics, but I'd have no idea what to search for. Haha.

I kinda like that. Only applicable to those of us with lighter colored cars though (obviously), but would probably be nice on my silver.

I'm just to get rid of the ones going vertically. Before I paint it black I'll just cover them up with black masking tape or electrical tape first to see if I like the way it looks.

Don't do it! Expect rock chips with white poke-a-dots. Aha! Unfortunately..I've done this to my lower bumper grill. You can give it a try, but I would use black vinyl. Goodluck mate!

It's not going to be something I'll worry about. I plan on getting it done the right way, not just painted over.

I may have to ask for this to be done, but I'm not sure on whether I like the Greddy or TTE lip more.... Any opinions?
