Default Should I paint my front bumper? (Poll Inside)

I saw this picture of an orange blast with the front bumper painted black around the intercooler. I'm looking for a way to make my car stand out and I thought it looked pretty good. Kinda fits my orange/black theme.



Here are a few pictures of my car.

If you do it then I would not have it be clear coated. Flat black looks better.

Yea totally. The best way to stand out is to do the exact same thing someone else did. :-) Try to come up with more original idea to stand out.

The cars in Puerto Rico so I don't think it really matters. What are some other things I could do to the exterior? I'm not gonna do anything else to make it faster, I'm to the point where I want to be.

Saw a picture from the front and it doesn't look as good. I think I'm gonna get some kind of fiberglass lip.

Augh, too many fiberglass lips. I personally like the painted front. It looks different to me. Yeah, looks similar to an Evo, but I don't think anyone will mistake your SRT for and Evo.

On a side note, I don't like your blacked side markers. Just don't flow with the car. Just my opinion though.

Keep up the good work; clean car.
