Decided to try something differnet with my bumpers...

[CUDA JAS]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

There are some sharp looking cars on this post.

The bolts are a bit of a curve ball, I had origonally thought of painting the bumpers a satin nickle finish, and wanted the bolts to match, so they actually have a tunrned satin finish on them, they are not shinny at all.  But now, that you mention it, I think I will hit them with the same primer.  I think they will look much better.

I also thought of painting the bumpers the same as the tail panel, but I am not sure it would look good because the bumper extends past the panel.

Have you considered painting the chrome trim around the tail panel to match the bumper?  Seems like that would tie it all together to me, and agree paint the bumper bolts too.

That would be a great idea...except that trim is a sticker (amazing what you find out about cars some times huh).  The holes are all still there and if I could find the trim at a reasonable cost, I would probably put it back on!!!

The back looks pretty good.  I'm not sure if matching to the tail panel would look better but that was my first thought as well.

You said you did the front as well?  Any pictures of that?

Not yet.  Car is still on stands in the garage (waiting on a new starter) and I can not get a decent pic of the front.

I will post one as soon as I pull the car out of the garage.

I think the painted bumpers suit your car just fine.

Love the paint scheme on your cuda!  Reminds me of my formative years reading "Hot Rod"

Looks great!
Needs to be lowered some though IMO?

Thanks Brad...lowered, really....hmmm....I TOTALY agree.  That is my biggest beef about my car.  I want to drop the rear about 5 inches and the front enough to level the car out, or give it a little rake.
