they are a black ultra metalic stuff, basically black with little silver specs that show up when the sun hits it right, kind of hard to explain. The car is there now so we are hoping it looks like we think it will when its done.

Got the car home, stripeless, the vinyl guy couldnt get the vinyl we picked to bend around the front bumper correctly so we didnt do any of the car, guess we will look into painted stripes.

Dude i have been there and done that. the dealer i bought my car form had this vinyl guy that tried to do the front bumper in one piece, its simply impossible. they bought in a guy that knew what he was doing after the car was redone twice. Basically the only way to do it is in three pieces. once for the top of the bumper, one for the center, and then one on the bottom to finish out the bumper. Mine is perfect on the front and you have to really look hard to tell it;s not one piece. It can be done, the stripe guy just has to be competent and actually want to do it right. AND teh bumper peice has to be taprerd or you get the illusion due to the way the bumper is contoured that teh stripe on the bumper is wider. These cars are tricky i guess.
