New rear bumper ready for paint

Just finished fitting my new rear bumper (Saleen PJ/Heritage) as well as the exhaust. Goes for paint next week. Very happy with the look.

You know if the side spilters were black I think that would tie it together and would look good. It's going to look good regardless.

Agreed dude.. The black bumper looks sick and original I haven't seen a mustang like that before.. I wonder if black side skirts would look good with it as well..(side note if someone tried to call you in for speeding from behind they would probably call you in as.a black mustang haha!!)

I wonder how it would look if the bumper was left as is, the black side skirts and then a black bra on the front.

Don't worry about the rocker moldings guys, got that covered

Have the matching Saleen rockers, which will be red up top/black below just like the bumper detail.

I think you are crazy... I like custom and unique, but that just looks lazy to me. Please don't get offended as I like the bumper, and your car quite a bit. IMHO I think you should go ahead and paint the spoiler red along with the bumper

Why would I get offended by being called "crazy"? And I actually have no idea what you're talking about. How is test fitting a bumper before sending it out for paint lazy? I'm not leaving it unpainted. Pretty much baffled by your comment.And yes, I was switching the spoiler to body color already.

Ah... i gotcha. That's going to look real cool. Those dual tips are freaking awesome with that rear bumper.

Thanks for clearing that up, and thanks for not leaving it all black.
