Should I Do This To My Bumper?

[A Psycho Martyr]

I saw this on some other cars and I think I MAY have seen it on a Vibe before....but I was thinkin about having JUST this section wrapped in Gloss BLack Vinyl. What do you guys think?

Leave it white. It has a clean look and IMO the black will ruin it.

[waveresponder]

if you do it nicely and you cant see any imperfections id say yes. I was thinking about doing mine with a reflective type, like i did to my roof rails.

[A Psycho Martyr]

it will be done by the guys that did my hood. They wrap cars all the time for businesses in town so I'm sure they can do it. And they won't make me pay if they can't

Thought about doing this before... was actually thinking about dipping the piece and clear coating it... slightly different than vinyl, thinner substrate contours a bit better. I say go for it if it isn't too spendy

I like it! Will it serve a protective purpose or is it just aesthetic?PS I love the idea of getting custom graphics on my car... that's especially dangerous now that I am doing freelance projects for a company that does that! Maybe a barter/trade...

If you are going black with that area, I would also tint your tails as well. I think that would bring the look of the car together better (if you are still going with the tinted or headlight covers?)

Only one I had of the BACK of the car.Quote, originally posted by Blanco_Diablo » I say go for it if it isn't too spendy Sholdn't cost more than $30 or $40. They're pretty reasonable guys.Quote, originally posted by ponta2147 »I like it!

Leave it white, IMO!

got a quote today. NO MORE than $50. And that's for the back bumper and the area under the grille on the front bumper too. And they're considering sponsoring my car club!AND....I applied for a part time job there 8)

If its done well, it shouldnt look bad at all. I think a satin black would look better than a high gloss though.

yeah tht's what i decided to go with. they told me i could do flat black vinyl or gloss car wrap. Apparently the flat vinyl bends better than gloss. But it'll match my taillights and the lip on the front 8) OH!!! I forgot to mention I'll be doing the area under the bottom grille black as well.

[glennpert]

i say go for it ive also been thinking about doing that, I think it would look sweet with your tails and reverse lights blacked out or tinting black.
