Painting the smile?

[mspeed3]

I know this conversation has been beat to death.. but there's only one thing that I don't like about my car (dont hate it, but...) and it's the smile...

especially since my car is white and the smile is black.. it stands out like a sore thumb..

I can't seem to find any aftermarket bumpers so I was wondering, has anyone tried or thought about painting the smile to the same colour as the car?

I believe there was one other one out there as well, but I can't remember who makes it right now...

This should make you happy. I actually plan on painting my grill and plastic around the fog light gloss black. Happy now? :)

In seriousness, the grill on the silver hatch looks ok.

This photo is shopped for the drop.. poor job too..

anyways.. this bumber still has the smile! lol

[mspeed3]

I was referring to the corksport bumper.. my bad..

The drop might be shopped, but the bumper is real. http://www.corksport.com/product-32547.html

Not worth the money though in my opinion.

Yeah, those fog light bezels need to be blacked-out fo-sho. That's one of the first things I did 2 mine.
