when I originally discussed it (before posting a poll on here) I was just going to do some kind of cover to see how it looks.

I would NOT do it gloss black, it would be flat black/grey or almost just a bare rubber look. Would also paint/coat the front lip to match it.

wow I didn’t know the cost of respraying a bumper aspen white costs 3-5 grand, that subaru paint is EXPENSIVE!!! :bloated:

I’m not sure how to make it a public poll because I’m trying to figure out if the people that vote no do horrible shit to their cars (like NA300ZX and his wing, no offense)
