Getting Front Bumper Repainted - SRT Forums

coltf1991 · 10-26-2009, 12:47 AM

So I am going to get my front bumper repainted and some work done to it. Trying to decide what all I should do to it. I am going to shave the dodge emblem. What about side markers? Keep them or get rid of them? Also I want to know if I should keep the black cross hairs or not? Flat or Gloss if so?

I like it the way it is.

Looks good, but I definitely say shave the side markers.

So shave side markers and dodge emblem but keep the black cross hairs? what if i get chrome wheels? think the black cross hairs will be ruined?

I think it looks weird without the dodge emblem.

Really? I think it looks CLEAN! Should I keep the fog lights or have them filled in?

I would check the laws about removing the side markers.

coltf1991 · 10-26-2009, 01:31 AM

Wait? Laws... There is a law stating whether or not you have to have side markers? That's shitty. Well Flame say there was no law what would you do? I want to keep the fogs. Shave emblem and markers maybe delete cross hairs the right way and just paint the middle of the bottom lip black like it is now!!

If there is no law, I'd get rid of the emblem and sidemarkers. I'd keep the crosshairs and the area around them black but not the lip. Then I'd black out the IC. Throw some black housing headlights and black eyelids and smile.

Black out the IC? Really....I want some black housings. Not sure about black eyelids without a CF hood. I am about to get BFMIC and do SRT across it. That is why I said delete the crosshairs.

There is almost always a law stating the vehicle has to have lights on the side of it for safety purposes at night. Check before you remove them. I would repaint it just the way it is and leave the emblem. It looks better that way.

shave the sidemarkers..i live in tx as well and have never got any crap for not having them. You'll like the shaved look ;] haha

Just because you don't get shit for it doesn't make it legal. If you don't have an aspect of the car that is legal and you get into an accident, you'll be at fault and you'll pay. A DUI could go in favor of the drunk guy if you don't have the required safety features of a car.

Well I have made up my mind. I am going to shave the emblem and side markers and cut out the hairs the right way and leave it all red. Should I paint my fog surrounds red or leave them black?

Not only that but inspections and safety usually require them to be there and you could potentially fail next time yours is up for this reason. I know in RI you would.

If you're painting the bumper all red you may as well paint the fog surrounds red too. If there is no other black they'll look funny.
