Hey, well some of you or ALOT of you may not know what im talking about, but im talking about if i got some black vinyl cut for the middle part of the front bumper, (In between the 2 honeycomb grills) ...how would it look? i think i seen someone on here before, but i cant find it again, im going to Albuquerque tomorrow, and thought id just buy the vinyl to take a look, but thought i'd come on here first to see if anyone had some input... Im also gonna get some eyelids cut up, just temp, than im gonna get some EZ lids ;)... so, tell me what you think

 

i was going to do this but have not gotten the ***** to do so yet...also going to get some black vinyl and do the a-pillars like on the 008's...but i think it will look good, and if not just pull it off

 

No, not vinyl. If your going to do this do it right. Paint is the only way. I think vinyl is going to look cheap. To be honest I don't really like the idea but that's my opinion and it's your car. Good Luck either way.

 

I agree, with both responses, paint is the way to go period. But if you are not sure yet them do the vinyl and see how it looks and if you like it do paint if not like Dane said take it off.

 

^^ Yeah, i dont want to paint it, im gonna get vinyl first, thanks for the responses guys, i think im gonna do it JUST to see how it looks first, ill post some pics up when i get the time to install it, cause i aint taking the BOX tomorrow, taking the titan so ill have to bring it back, than install it on a warm day,.. thanks!

 

heres a lesson..
if the vynil dont match that black plastic perfectly, then it might look pretty out of place. Unless this is your goal..
anyway.. heres an idea of how it would look

 

If done properly it will look something like this

When I wreaked my box I had to do something to cover up the damage. So after doing the fiberglass work I decided to do this rather than paint it the stock color.

I'm still not sure if I like it or not. It's a combo of paint and vinyl and it gets lots of attention. Now I just need to smoke the headlights and buy some fogs.

 

wow, thats some nice matching right there, and now i know that if i dont match it, its gonna look like SH!7!! I really like the way it looks, i remember seeing the one guy i seen with just the middle blacked out tho, and some eyelids, made it look mean, like the Punisher haha.... but very nice

 

You should not allowed to use Photoshop if thats what you call a "good" example.

 

EVERYBODY DUUUCK!!!!!!!!

Here comes the Hate rain.

You know what... If done properly, I would look cool though. Only thing is that the black tape or paint would look just thrown on. If theres was a way to recess the tape it would look amazing. (like the xd and xb2, they have that recess in the bumper)

 

wow..........................................

clean works!! love those wheels

 

Super super sexy.

 

What color do you need? When I went two-toned, the painter ended up painting my door sills as well. Since my car was originally BSP, it never came with the door sill black out tape and I ended up having to go custom from a local graphics house that does body wraps. I can get you the number of the vinyl they used, it matches BSP perfectly. BTW, to order from toyota would have ran me $270 for some tape, WTF?
