Is that an added lip or just painted differently? I haven't seen that before.

Its just the Gen1 with the bottom painted to accent it. I recently painted the rear bumper to carry the theme around them all the way around.

Looks awesome, thats a good idea. I have the CDC classic (textured black, and then my stock V6 sideskirts (textured black), I wonder if I can do something for the rear bumper. What kind of paint did you use?

I used truck bed liner paint that comes in a spray can. It gives you a nice texture and should be pretty durable.

I probably like the Roush bumper cover the best but to expensive. Do they sell it in a V6 version though?

really? bed liner? never thought of that. have you made any changes to your upper pp grille, or is it just stock with the added bumper grille.

I have the V6 Gen1 so its made for the PP to fit right in. It could be a little better fit but its not bad. The lower grille dissappointed me as soon as I saw it wasn't powder coated. The guy I spoke to about powder coating it suggested the bed liner paint to touch up the front lip that had some chipping and minor paint damage. Worked well so I used it on the rear. It tends to lift real easy when removing the tape. I've been in a rush each time and haven't let it dry real well so that may be why.
