It's going to look awesome man, but if the weather keeps up the way it is right now, I would wait a while longer before asking him to do it; you don't want him blaming the weather for the paint messing up later.

put on the stock rear bumper today (thanks, Nacho!) and finally snapped some pics. don't know when paint will happen--long story, but there was an unfortunate death in my painter's family (i knew the guy, too--RIP) so i'm not going to bug them with that...

on to the pics:









and finally, a cheap chop of what it will look like painted up:



FRANKENSTANG!

big ups to James for help w/ the rear bumper and to my buddy Pete for help w/ the side skirts!

You should spray paint the rear bumper white and have a nice scheeme going until itr paint black.

I just think the rear bumper is t00 high due to the side skirts but it will good none the less.

I think it looks kinda good with the stock rear bumper. Almost like a Nascar stock car. Old style, not car of tomorrow.
