Icon3 Color coded bumper strips on EK? Need ur help pics included

Hi all,

I am still deciding whether to color code my bumper strips on my EK sedan and want your opinions. I have a genuine OEM 98 rear lip and have done a 'cheap' photoshop job to show 3 different options - which one looks best?

OPTION. 1 (REAR UNDER SPOILER ONLY)

OPTION. 2 (REAR UNDER SPOILER & TRUNK PANEL)

By civica at 2009-09-14

OPTION. 3 (REAR UNDER SPOILER, TRUNK PANEL & BUMPER STRIPS)

By civica at 2009-09-14

Hey mate, thanks for that - i like you're thinking - if i leave the panel black, do the bumpers white, then it will also match front black mesh grille at the front. Why didn't I think of that!!

Thanks mate,

Where is option 0 with the lip in black also. I think it would tie in better to the rest of the black.

funny you say that - the original lip is nighthawk black: but just think it looks like an 'add on' if i don't color code it to the car...
