Color Matched Bumpers

[jesteratc]

Hello all. Just wondering if some owners could post up some pics of there cars with the bumpers color matched. Im thinking about painting my aquas the same color as the body. I think it will give the car a much newer apperance.

Would just like to see how everyones turned out and if many are doing it? Ive seen casper who had it done and it looks great.

Thanks, andrew

GL's have matching bumpers, and they are a MUCH better start for painting a bumper, than trying to paint a gray plastic bumper turquoise.

Primer is a best friend. And my hood turned out good I would think the bumper being a different material would look even nicer. I am pretty handy with a spray can.

The gray plastic on a Festiva's bumper is NOTORIOUS for not taking paint. Take that bumper to a body shop, and they will tell you your options are black or gray. Good luck! I'm not downing on trying it out, just the rubberized material of a GL bumper is much more willing to take and hold the paint.

The bumpers are of different material?

VERY different. The GL has a smooth rubber like material. The normal Gray bumpers are hard gray plastic.

Some body should have told me years ago I couldn't paint my grey bumpers red. They also should have told me Festies are not a tow rig LOL

Can't lengthen the wheel base by changing the front and the back. Can't lift. Can't shorten the turning circle. 100 watt HID will melt everything.

LED turns don't work. Ahh never mind. That red bumper has pushed through a lot of sage brush, pushed trees off of roads..and it still looks good.
You need some one local that knows current body and paint stuff and you will not have problems.

Personally, I actually prefer a solid black bumper. Don't know why. Just do...

Good luck with your choice.
