Does anyone have one of these rear bumpers painted completely the color of the car no flat black parts showing?

I'm curious to see what this would look like as well. Because waxing the bumper is a bitch when you have to deal with that black plastic. You don't want to get wax on it!

The flip side though is with the California Special Front, keeping the back difuser black makes it look symetrical. So I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to paint it if you have the CS Front also. Unless of course you plan on painting it as well.

I have a take-off from a GT500,and yes the wax is a beeouch to get off. I also added the V-6 side skirts and CS front bumper cover.

I'm going with a Roush Front End so I think the diffuser style rear painted to match would probably look good but I just can't seem to find someone that has pics of that.

That looks real good Poco but your rear bumper is two color. I was looking for someone that decided to paint the whole bottom the color of the car.

With the Roush front bumper, the CS rear bumper fully painted should like quite nice!

If you ask nicely maybe one of our resident photochoppers will work a picture up for you. I would but don't have access to the program anymore.

Nice thank you! I think if I got the bumper I'd stick with the CS paint scheme tho. Painted makes it look bulky

Painted = bulky = FAIL

I think the CS setup with the blackout panel will look just right.

Still tho I think I'd like to see a better lit picture then those. Couldn't really see the detail too well.
