Default Painted My Bumper Again - Professionally This Time :)

I wanted a more factory look so got a local shop to paint my lower bumper, decklid panel, side skirts, upper and lower front grille...... Got it all done this time.

As most of you know, I painted it silver before myself. It looked good but I wanted a glossy look, more like a factory look to it. It's a little bit lighter than what I had previously and got a clear coat over it. Looks WAY better. Here's the only decent pics I could get today because of the weather here (in my garage).....

wow that really looks great. My only beef with the painted accents on the 2010's is it needs to be something on the front lip also to make it look complete.

Great work though.

Thanks man. I did the front lip this time too. Just don't have pics yet. I have some other stuff I'm waiting on in the mail and once I get those on I will post complete pics. It's gonna look GOOD!

Big improvement over the stock rear. I approve.

Did you put HYBRID to mess with people?

Yeah, I put the HYBRID on there to pi$$ off all of the Hybrid drivers around here. I get snotty looks from them, probably because it's a Mustang and it's loud. So, I found some letters that look similar to the SHELBY letters and put them on. I've already had people ask me "Ford makes a Hybrid Mustang?" It's pretty funny..... I think that mainly other Mustang drivers will see the humor in it and actually get it.

Here's a clearer pic of the HYBRID letters:

Yep, that's the Ford OEM decklid panel. Comes just like that but in black.
