Thats how you handle a bad situation and turn it around. The GT/CS upgrade!!! Matte black FTW.....good choice.

Leave it like the factory intended it (option1).
It looks too busy on that redfire car.

I was thinking the same thing too. The black will add a nice contrast too.

Well, it makes the bumper less fat (less painted areas) mostly.
So, you don't need a ladder to reach the tail lights, lol, like the mid 90s Mitsu****ty Eclipses.

Thanks for the input everyone. I decided to go with the way Ma' Ford intended... I'm gonna go matte black on the diffuser... I can't wait. Pics to come.

Well, she is done and boy does she look good... I went with the matte black diffuser with the stripes all the way down. The body shop tried to talk me into rounding the bottom and terminating before the diffuser but I opted to go with what you see instead... I am quite happy. Ford should've used this bumper from day 1... Let me know what you think. Enjoy...

I definitely wouldn't recommend it the way I did... boo hoo... my baby has been in an accident...

However, if you are serious, Tousley Ford got me the kit for under $280 plus shipping via Greyhound (sounds cheezy, but I got it in 3 days flat in perfect condition).

Now I want the Foose hood and the GT500 front end... Maybe next year...
