What is so unique about Blacking out the front bumper?

The sports grille works with your colours, though I can't say it'd work too well on a car like mine, with the blue. The shade-colours (white, grey, black) I think work well, but the colours...I don't know if the sports grille would work so well.

Mmmmmm - That's an idea.... I've been photoshopping the front edges of the grill lattice in a red, to see how it would be...

From having a black CJ, I want to do something with this area - Just trying to work out a suitable colour... White would be too full on, but the grey is coming back to me.... Would liek to also match it with some rear vinyl either a boot protector or a trim of some sort...

If your interested I have a metallic grey vinyl that 95% matches the colour of the upper and lower grill surrounds.

I have also done a bumper blackout on a car from this club (can't remember who it was for the life of me) but they had a bit of a red trim around the upper grill surround which looked very trick!

The guy is cjsig.
The car though now is being driven by his younger sister. He's apparently buying a new car though hasn't quite decided what he's getting. But last time I spoke to him a 370Z was on the cards.

Just remembered.
Cj's with vinyl bumper blackouts and chrome trim look kinda like the front of an audi

On my way home from Uni on an intersection i had a guy literally halfway outside his car staring at my front end/guard area, even gawked at the stock 16 rims.

I think he was driving his excel to a mitsubishi dealer haha. I was freaked out though, literally 3 minutes uninterrupted, I drove off in a hurry.
