Lets not get into this. If you like it, you like it. Your car does not look bad compared to some cars I see with body kits. I am not sure who made the bumper, I bought it used.

Like i said, in a month after the body work and paint gets redone, you can check it out if you want, but i'm sure your decision will be made by then. Maybe at the next mid atlantic mega car meet.

painting your car flat black will basically ruin its resale value completely.

its one thing for EF guys to do it.. our shit is old.

flat black "paint jobs" look like garbage. it looks cheap and makes the car feel like paper.

no offense to the owner, but you can't tell me this looks good.

jus go with the swap imo ... n save for paint ... flat black is just a fad dude ... you might regret it ... at least you know what your car looks like in silver ... n im sure you like it since you bought it like that you know? you got the final say but ... imo save your $$ n think bout it ... good luck with that .. peace out
