Stillen Fascia - to paint or not to paint

[johnny_d]

Sorry for creating a new thread but I needed to get some comments before dropping it off tomorrow. I am leaning toward the whole bumper being painted body color w/ the exception of the black grill (pic 2)..... What do u guys think?

Thanks to Mcheddadi for the awesome Photoshop job and thanks to whoever's red coupe that is that he borrowed the pic from Damn red coupe looks so good w/ the Stillen fascia

personally I LOVE the look of the black in the middle of the bottom lip. The new mitsubishi lancers have that look on them, but I figured whats the point of getting a lancer if it isnt the evolution, and that was a few thousand out of my price range.

I personally like the first picture on the bottom left; its all about what you like though homie. Good luck

i like full unpainted look too. flows with the sliver and black trim/tint

[johnny_d]

Blake, your black parts, are they unpainted or painted black? I dont got PS here but now i'm thinking keeping the 1st pic, but painting the outter edge of the middle part and leaving the inside parts black? ahhh i'm so unsure

Mines all unpainted urethane. Go for whatever feels right dude. Its your ride

Leave the inside, grill, and bottom lip unpainted..Also paint the lower part of the radiator and lines black..

[johnny_d]

ok, I just looked closely, it seems that the lip that is unpainted is shorter than the painted so it might look weird to have it painted. I guess imma do it like Stillen did. Is urethane easy to keep clean, scratch resistanth? if it's not i could just ask them to paint it black

The first one

[quick_shift]

1st one

I am a fan of the top left

How about something like what Mr_Coupe did... (In silver, of course)

...

I think it would look nice if your radiator and whatever else is visible back there was black, and you had those support pieces in silver. Anyway, it's your car, your money and your decision. It's going to look hot either way.

The 1st one for sure..

Johnny, I like the first one (Dangeris' car)

[dangeris]

I love the 1st on too!

[johnny_d]

actually i liked how Mr Coupe did ........ the only thing diff is he painted the inner columns. I just hope silver comes out good like that. This will also require the headlight to be darker

[Mr. Music]

...This will also require the headlight to be darker

Why do you say that? It won't REQUIRE anything, lol, he just has overlays on his lights.

[johnny_d]

yea i know the contrast on the headlights is perfect
