Mine is painted the traditional way, I need better photos though.

 

***disclaimer***not a painter at all, but have a question for your painting thoughts...would a special paint - similiar to ?flex? bumper paint be needed for this?

 

Flex is in all automotive pain, especially paint used to refinish things like bumpers. I did see a CS Stang, an actual one, not a knock off, and the areas I am concerned with we're painted and smooth. There is a primer which is similar to body filler, which can be atomized and sprayed on a textured application to make it smooth looking after paint, just don't remember what the name of it is.

 

It's called filler primer and it's used to fill in imperfections in the panel to be painted. The texture is normal and can be left textured or 'filled'/smoothed with the filler primer.

 

I painted mine and really think it looks better then the black plastic. I like the use of the SC parts but not to keen on fake badges. Good luck on your project.

 

Thanks! I'm with you on the painted middle section. My clear bra guy suggested a carbon fiber wrap on the middle, any thoughts? I will say that the Agent 47 lower brake cooling ducts look very good, adds an aggressive and functional alternative to the front.

 

The CF wrap will definitely look cool. My question to your guy would be concerning longevity. I would be concerned with rock chips, sun fade and repeated washing that may lift the material. How about using real CF? Raceskinz makes a true CF piece that is designed just for the CS.

what is the average cost of paint and install on a cs front bumper? the cs is my favorite front bumper option, aside from the gt500

 

Here is where I got mine:

$350 for painting the bumper and side scoops. $275 for a clear bra install. Paint has to cure before the bra is installed. Pretty much 2 weeks or so basking in the sun daily.

 

Thanks for the breakdown.. I will be looking into it...
