    Can anyone help me post these pics? They are in an album in my profile. My question is whether or not you guys think these mods are ghetto. I had to have my rear bumper cover replaced and painted the valence and fog light grilles. It seemed like a good idea until I got it done and now I'm on the fence.

    Not ghetto...but not fabulous either IMO. It's just too much silver for me.

    the only thing that really bugs me is the panel behind the fog housing. It ruins the continuity of the vents and looked better black so it was invisible.

    I say go to black.
    Painting silver components on a silver car is like putting white furniture in a room with white walls and white floors.
    I think its an overkill but if you like it.

    Definitely +1. I would have looked really good if you would have just painted the 2 horizontal pieces and maybe the foglight surround, but not the panel piece behind the foglight.

    Also not a fan of the color matched rear valance.

    Wow, he hasn't even come back. You guys scared him off!

    Not the biggest fan, but it doesn't look too bad buddy. If you like it, that's all that matters - who cares what those of us in the peanut gallery think.

    Re: Ghetto or Fabulous?

    the fog inserts would look better if just the horizontals were silver, with the wall part behind the fog blacked out

    Re: Ghetto or Fabulous?

    Interesting feedback. I definitely like the rear valence silver. I didn't realize the "wall" behind the fog grill was going to be painted silver. I'll post a wider angle pic of the rear soon.

    Re: Ghetto or Fabulous?

    Its definately not ghetto...I dont dont think it looks bad, if you had chromed everything out I think it woulda been a bit ghetto. Just dont paint any interioir pieces silver :) Doesnt look bad though.

    Re: Ghetto or Fabulous?

    some black center grill trims and black behind the foglights would add a nice touch.
