Slimmbones Black Splitters Installed(Pics)
Yes i need to repaint my bumper but remember this car is a test car for all products made and in the future, these splitters are made of black fiberglass and are held on with 3m tape on the top and sides and underneath held on by two screws(pre-drilled holes) they are paint ready, all i did was apply a compound and use a high speed buffer to get this gloss finish

Why does the passenger side look low? They look good with the fog deletes.

Because of the light angle. Remember, it's black.

Which would mean that, if I were you, slimmbones, I'd put some protective film over it! Those puppies will get peltered with debris more than any other part of the car.

They look good Slim. I wonder how they would look colored to match? I think I'll do a search now.

I've been looking for something like this... it's what the bumper should have been like from the factory imho. The gloss black is just perfect for that royal red car.

PM me the price and shipping to Finland

My thoughts exactly, they compliment the shape of the bumper nicely, without too much 'added extra' look. Any Photoshoppers on here?
