Going black on my bumpers, or paying 200$ to get my front bumper repainted white(f'ed it up in an accident for those who didnt know. It is currently primer gray with black satin trim/lower grille)
This sucks. I love the way my Integra lip works with the white and the black trim, but my favorite hatches on here have black bumpers. I just don't know what to do. Someone help me out! :violin:
another panda hatch?
i think my sig says it all
the only other thing I might consider is a full paint. aka. paint entire bumpers and side moldings too. There was a member back in '00 or '01 that had a white-out'ed hatch and I thought it looked pretty damn good.
go panda!
no dont go to the dark side

I can see the dilemma.
I have a silver DX that is all trimmed out in black, and I really like the look, BUT my LX I have all bumpers and side mouldings painted body color and I really like that look too. I think the base color kind of has something to do with it because the silver car would not look right to me all body color but the gold pewter does.
So yours being white, hrmmm I have seen all white done, almost everything white out and it looks good but if you are leaving the side mouldings black and otherwise normally trimmed out I would say.....

tough call, as long as you prep the bumpers real nice it will look good no matter. I would use semi gloss black not regular flat or regular gloss black. Satin black is good but it varys between brands on how satin it looks.
yeah, I say a full white-out. There's too many B&W's out there now. Can someone assist w/ a photochop? btw, catalyst in that 2nd pic, you can see what a wing would look like on the back of your hatch. You caught the c-pillar from the car in the background just right. I had to look twice b/c the first time I thought you put a high wing on.
Bwahaha I didn't even notice that till' you mentioned it! Thats my moms Corolla S in the background. :P:DQuote:

I have some Krylon Fusion satin sitting in my room as we speak, think that would turn out nice?
yes it would match the trim good :DQuote:
