Painted bumperettes
The local body shop has them and should be back tomorrow evening. I thought about doing myself but the color match was going to be a nightmare and where the car must have set with one side facing sun more they were different roughness to them.
I will post before and after this weekend. I am so looking forward to the new look.

Just had mine done and the difference is KILLER. This is one of the best upgrades I think that you can do. I too had mine done as the texture was too much for me to think I could have done a great job on. Leave it to the Pros when it comes to paint.

Yup, I had Bumperettes.com here in Charlotte do mine, perfect match. There are forum members that do their own. Mine look factory, I'm happy I had them done right.

Picked them up and can't wait to put them back on. They look great but it is pouring the rain and I use the car as my DD. So will have to wait until Saturday or Sunday whether rain stops. Shop said I could put them on tomorrow but I will wait to be safe.
One of the best $150 I have spent. Now to finish the GPS DIY I have going.
