very nice
^^Made it myself. And now I sell them. PM me if interested in having one. Any color you want made. So far, I've done two black with silver SCION logo, and one Silver with the SCION logo in Gunmetal color.
I have a big big problem with repainting the stock color on the front bumper for my BSP tC. Because the bumper was severely scratched I had a friend who had a body shop that used PPG to repaint it. We looked up the color code for the for the BSP scion and it says 209 from toyota. Unfortunately scion seems to have a different 209 from a 209 paint that is used on toyota cars. As a result the color came out lighter.
We then had the PPG local distributor come by with the "color eye", a machine that scans in several color swatches of the body of car and averages a mixture for the paint. That didnt work either and the black came out lighter again.
After two failures with PPG, I tired another automotove paint company, Sherman-Williams. After repainting it the 3rd time, the bightness of the color was closer, but did not have enough metallic. When the sun shines onto the car, due to the lack of metallic the bumper was flat and the rest of the car is glittering. Its embarrassing to see my car like that. Just looks cheap!
I have been driving around with mismatch blacks on my car for 9 months now. I am thinking of buying the RS1 lip kit. I planning to have the bumper painted at the same time as the lip kit.
I REALLY NEED ADVICE OF WHICH PAINT COMPANY OUT THAT HAS A MIXTURE THAT WOULD PROVIDE NO LOWER THAN 90% OF A COLOR MATCH!!!
If BSP is so hard to color match, is it an optional to buy a front bumper from the dealership prepainted???

That's the reason why we got ours done at the dealer. Although a little pricey at $262.30 just for the front bumper, it's still gives you a piece of mind knowing that the color will be flawlessly matched.
PS...We ordered teh RS1 front lip, but in Carbon Fiber. (Rest of the kit soon to follow when they redesign the rear).
