Just wondering if anyone has painted the plastic part on the ls/lt bumper, and how it worked out. I can't stand the look of all the grey/black plastic, so I want to paint it. But if someone has tried and it didn't stay worth a Damon, I won't bother

 

mine has nothing there-- not sure if i want the black rubber or the stainless steel one i found,or make my own and have it powdercoated -decisions

 

Numerous members have painted that part, properly prepped & correct materials will hold up as good as any of the plastic body panels ...

 

That's what I was looking for. Thanks Sleeper.

 

 

Are you talking about the black piece that is right behind the license plate?

 

Yes. I'm registered in Michigan, so I don't need a front plate. And I absolutely HATE the look of grey, unpainted plastic like that. It makes it look cheap. Since this post I have gotten around to painting it. I used Duplicolor Perfect Match from Autozone. IBM is near impossible to find, so I grabbed what I thought was a close match, but it came out lighter than I wanted, so I'm going to end up redoing it, but I think it looks better than the plastic, so I'm happy for now.

 

Or go all the way and swap to a SS front bumper cover.
No cheap looking, non matching inserts.

LOL, I would, but I want it to look like a regular LT when it's S/C'ed, that way little Timmy in his daddy's Rustang doesn't know what hit him when I blow his doors off.
