Hello, I was just curious how hard it is to remove the black piece above the exhuast's on an 01 to have painted. Im not very handy, didnt know if i could do it myself or not?

 

yes you can take it off, but why would you want to paint it,

it going to look like you repainted the whole rear bumper, just a waste of money time, looks 10x better black,

 

I didn't have mine removed. It turned out just fine.

IMO leave it black. now you have seen both though. shouldnt be to hard to take off.

 

BTW...that piece does not come off separately from the bumper. It is part of the bumper. Look under the car to see for yourself.

It can be painted though, and does look unique. Ap1_S2i...looks sharp. Post pics of the rest of your car. Looks nice with that white hardtop.

 

Thank you very much! I'm pretty happy with how she came out. The bf painted the wheels, hardtop, and lower piece.

i think negcamber is going to change his mind now ... ROFL

 

Don't think he'll like the pink? :-P

 

The pink is a bit much!

BTW...are those Racing Hart wheels? What size and offset were you able to get?

 

i kinda like the pink on the white. But then again i have good taste lmao.

 

Negcamber....looking at the center bore and how the lug holes are casted, those look like Rotas (I could be wrong though).

 

ROTAS! I'm ashamed of you.

Racing Heart cp035's

Yeah, thought so...

What size and offset were you able to get? Those are some damn light wheels.

The rear piece does come off thats why Ztec sells a single exhaust cap piece..

I know because i have this on my car..

The rear piece DOES NOT come off the bumper unless you cut it off. The Ztec piece is just a cover. If you still don't believe it, go to your car and take the Ztec piece off. Then try to take off the OEM piece. Pull as hard as you can just to make sure, ok.

 

gotcha my car came with it i thought the other one was not there..hmm interesting

LOL...that's mean...trying to make the guy tear his bumper. bwahahahaha!

 

I personally wouldn't paint it. Painting it just seems like you just get a new back bumper and the painter just got lazy and painted the whole thing instead of taping it up or painting it black. It also makes the rear look fat. = |
