    I was also thinking about blacking out everything just like David did. By some clips broken I actually meant all of them hahah. I Don't hear a rattle but id does get shit back there and wears off the paint. The old ones fell out somehow when I was driving.
    I'll fix all that shit soon.
    -red clips
    -blue clips
    -molding

    Make sure to keep wax off that ultra flat-black paint!

    Are those 'magic erasers' really that good? Do you have to follow up w/a dressing of some sort, like armor all, or???

    Looking good man

    Looks good. A lot better than the faded color. I always like the matte black (flat black) on the fenders. How long did it take you to do this project? cheers!

    hey man, i like the matte black front look. Looks clean. Was this a do-it-yourself project? Take off the front license plate if that is even legal in the state of WA..

    thanks man! yep, it was a diy project... and not terribly hard, really. the original bumper color was fading pretty badly and had become more of a dark-ish gray. and the chrome was all chipped up and looked terrible.

    i would take the plate off, but wa is retarded and requires it. oh well...

    As stated I painted them satin first then didn't like it so took them off and did ultra-flat. Soo including all of that plus dry times it was a full day project. If I only did them once and was satisfied it would have took 1-2 hours or so, plus the full dry time of 24 hours.
