Match paint bumper or go black?

Im leaning towards leaving it black since it matches the carbon fiber hood, but i have the chance to paint it silver now for no extra charge.... just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Feel free to flame me also

I love it black, but I'd still paint it to match.

Re: Match paint bumper or go black? (Crxer)

Why are you even asking this? Of corse you should paint!

You may fit in with the ricers with a two tone car but it still wont look good unpainted.

Unless they were meant to be black in the first place, like my old base model 89 Camry, it was silver w/ black bumpers, and IMHO it looked better w/ the black bumpers. But that was largely because of the shape of the bumpers. All Civics and Integras from 88-present look way better with them painted.

Re: Match paint bumper or go black? (Vic Nyce)

you're suppost to paint it..
cars that dont have matching bumpers are the low model cars..
ie: DX

they use to do that **** back in the early 90s, on the 90-93 honda accords and civics. the DX models always came with black bumpers, but at my dads shop, he always painted it, because it looked nasty. heh
