IMHO black bumpers don't look right on cars w/ more integrated bumper covers, like 92-up Civics. Older Civics had bumpers that kinda look like they were stuck on, in which black doesn't look that bad. You can see what I mean w/ my old Camry:
My Integra, on the other hand, would look absolutely ghey w/ black bumpers.

The T1R only has a bit of the tip that color. His tip is totally that color.

since it puts more/sharper bends in the pipe.
Your car looks like ****. Leave the black bumpers to EF's.
2. the bumpers to me also serve a purpose to me and thats that on 3 occasions i've come across situations were i've been tapped on the street and on the course and, you know what, there is no paint to scratch or chip off on contact, they are orginal finished new bumpers "no paint', prior to when i got the bumpers the old bumpers were color matched and were all scathced and chipped for the same reason.
3. lastly, it may look like ****, hell it may smell like ****, but you know what for a daily driver its a pretty fast PIECE OF ****!..... lol

His exhaust is actually a "functional angled muffler" meaning the exhaust is almost straight, passing under the rear suspension, and then a single bend, just so that the muffler can clear the spare tire well and the tip ends up at the cutout in the bumper. IMHO the exahusts like 5Zigen Fireball that have the angled look but still pass over the rear suspension is

I'm just giving you my opinion. Personally I'd just swap the black bumpers on at the track then swap the painted ones on for street. Not sure where you park but I don't seem to have any problems getting my bumpers messed up. If they're getting chipped cause people hit you, then have them pay for it.
