New Painted Bumperettes

[yellowboxster01]

painted bumperettes make the rear look so much better. The rolloff isn't broken up with 2 ugly black pieces of rubber.

Well, IMO, I think it depends upon the color of the car, and of course, personal choice. The Boxster's rear is pretty big, and in most colors, the painted bumperettes magnify this.

I quite like the black bumperettes on my Guards Red car. I think it breaks up the monochromatic look, and a break in color looks good - Black/Red is a classic combination.

Then again, I think Guards Red bumperettes would look good as well.

That's why, when I saw a pair of perfect bumperettes on Craig List for $20, I jumped on them.

I'll have these body color painted and whenever I feel like changing the look, I'll take 5 min. and swap them - the best of both worlds.

I think once you switch to the painted bumperettes, you'll never go back. They really smooth out the rear end.

@yellowboxster01

you may very well be right - we'll see.

I painted my bumperettes black to match the car and it made a noticeable difference to me in modernizing the exterior of the car.

This picture was take with flash, so the bumperettes look darker and shinier than they did in person. One of the reasons I decided to paint them was that they looked oxidized.

Here's the after:

I think the back of the car looks cleaner with the painted bumperettes.

If anyone in the Richmond area needs some Arctic Silver paint, let me know.
