Painted rear valance design

Just had the rear valance design painted on my bumper. Looks much better than the vinyl stickers!!

what you guys think?

imo it depends on how it looks with the rest of ur car. If you dont have any other black accents itll look outaplace.

Now if you have black faced rims, tint, painted black badges/grill/HL's, etc ,etc Now thatll look HAWT!

Not necessarily, if you have a black painted roof, a black valance won't look out of place at all.

I really want to paint mine also, but I'm not sure if I could paint without taking the bumper off.

Yea thats why i had mine painted the way i did.....it flows with the lines of the bumper around the plate area so it looks like it was supposed to be there.

all in the eyes of the beholder i think just the roof and rear valence would still look out of place with all the chrome on the car, HL's, tails, and no tint...

Mine's with the valence overlays. No taillight overlays, no painted roof and no black badges. Doesnt look out of place IMO.

But I do have Phantom GT30's.

I think glossy black looks off, I prefer semi gloss or even flat black.

just my .02
