Default bumper inserts

so i have to go get my rear quarter/bumper fixed. they have to take my bumper off and im going to get the whole thing repainted and not just fixed where the scratch is. they will have to take off my bumper inserts either way so i will be looking at getting something else. tho, im thinking no inserts might look good with the tail tints. also real stainless ones will look good with chrome wheels which i plan to buy later on.

heres what my rear looks like now.

I think that stainless would look the best. Leaving them black would be too plain.

i have an 04 black gt with black bullitt rims and the chrome looks good on the rear i think. i would just go with what you had on before it looks good like that. looks cold where you are, the last few days in mass have been cold which sucks, fortunately i have a winter beater.

It has been freezing out lately. It is going to be 50 degrees next week though. My car will still be under her cover though. When is spring again?

Go with the chrome inserts...it'll look the best with the rims and the black paint. I though about it too, but ended up getting the silver ones. The chrome would look a lot better..imo.
