I am going to paint my rear bumper!(I am serious this time)
You think I would of learned by now but here goes...
I need opinions!  Should I paint my RS rear bumper gaurds red to match the car....OR I was thinking of painting both bumpers black Kind of like the gulf blue/oarnge thing Chuck is doing except Gaurds red/black. The rockers are already black and the rear is black gelcoated now. So what do you guys think? Both black or red?

Shawn,
Red and black and know right where you can pick up a set of gold painted 7 and 8" Fuchs to really set it off. Actually I vote for all red.

Brian,
I am leaning towards red myself. Are they 15" Fuchs?

Red. When I first bought my car, the PO had painted the rockers black for some reason and it looked bad. It must have seemed like a good idea at the time....

Keep them red. Then they match the house trim.

Red it is! Still pondering the "Carrera" scripts. I am not doing a clone so I don't know if I should do the scripts or not. I just don't like the RS front bumper. Fuchs are on my dream list.

Red with black center Fuchs.
For some reason I don't recall seeing to many (none) base color red cars with multi other colors (stripes, trim, whatever) that seemed to look GREAT. Now if someone will post any such R Gruppe cars I am willing to alter my opinion for the right car

Red, The black makes those body panels disappear into the shade, shadow. Finish it with 8/9 fuchs.
