I have all of my parts (exhaust wise) for my true dual set up. I am wondering for anyone who has cut their bumper... did you paint the cut? Does it look good? Has anyone gotten the black covers that comes with the FRPP kit and do those look good?

I didn't paint the cut when I did mine (which I had to replace, thank you F350 driver who had to text while driving) - but my car is black. But it won't rust or peel, at least mine didn't peel and since it is a rubbery like plastic it won't rust!

I've seen the FRPP covers on other cars - I didn't like the look with the rivets and actually preferred the cut bumper with the old school rolled panel look to it. I almost went ahead with the V6 bumper when I had to replace mine, but it was cheaper for me to get a GT take off and use the extra for painting the stripes on the front of the car as well as on the rear bumper.

I didn't paint mine either.
The guys at one Ford dealership thought it was stock! LOL

get an aftermarket rear valance, they look meaner and the install is more simple than the cut out

No need to paint the cut-out. You wont see the cut.

My only objection to a rear valance is that I have stripes and I don't want to have to match up new ones.

I prefer the cut bumper, no aftermarket valance. I think it is a cleaner look and has an old school rolled pan look to it.

I agree, cut bumper.

i agree too, i like the v6 bumper myself. i hit the cut edge of mine with the touch up paint, no one will ever see it, but i thought might just help from getting a chip in the paint later on, though its been a few years or more already. its such a small notch
