    I color matched my rear bumper today. It was originally chrome and I didn't think it looked very good with the black/red theme I have going. My wife hates it but I think it looks great. What do u guys think?

    If anybody is interested I can write up a short tutorial. It was really easy to do.

    It's pretty easy. Just be patient, that was the hardest part for me.

    I think it looks great. I assume the front is done or will be? I want to change mine from chrome to white. I want to find some stock black ones and powder coat it.

    I still have to so the chrome strip on the front bumper and I have a black grill in the mail that I'm going to satoshi mod. I want to eventually replace my front bumper with a tube bumper but it will be a while.

    That looks great! I need a new rear bumper anyway, but that gives me another option.
