Default Black or blue???

Originally I was going to have the shop paint this rear bumper strip black but after looking at it more closely this morning, I am leaning towards sprint blue, black might look odd here. Still doing the front grill ring black though, but mirrors are gonna be blue.

Drop it off in a few hours before i fly to LAX for work this week. Can't wait to see it when I get home.

Default I say blue, but you could probably go either way...

Default Blue. Do the valence and the front fillter plate while you're at it.

Black plastic is for kids toys, not luxury performance sedans.

Default Nah...

I like the all black front grill it looks predatory coming up behind you. But after seeing the post from star, I am definitely going blue on the rear deck piece. The rear valence, I thought about this before and I think the painting it blue makes it look too rice. Plus when I get in the black exhaust, it will look pretty slick. It probably would look good either way though, but I think I like the valence matching the grill, all black.

Default Black...esp. w/ the black exhaust coming - you need an aesthetic break in the rear...

blue would make it too 'bottom-heavy'
