Now that I think about it, without pics this thread is entirely worthless.

Nice!

I liked my black bumperettes at first, but seeing color matched bumperettes on all the newer cars got me totally into my Eric-painted silver bumperettes! Wouldn't do without them now!

It's really not "chump change" to get the painted versions. So I can see thinking about it and waiting a bit.

The money was not the issue for me ($259.00), it was the thought that the color would not match, not to discount the fact that they might turn out shi@y...........

Best mod and the least expensive to date! I am having other parts painted by Eric. Hell, when the car needs paint, I'll just have him do it!, he's that good!

Thanks Tim.

Believe when I say that I'm a perfectionist. These things are perfect. I couldn't find anything wrong with them and I was looking hard...........

Nice!! Looks great on SY. On my Atlas Gray car, not sure it's worth painting the bumperettes since the contrast isn't so apparent. I sort of like the originals.

I was at a car show in the Irvine area and saw the painted Bumperettes on a 996 Gray C2. It was beautiful He ZAINO'ed it since new. Pretty much what the turning point for me was..........

Phil, Eric would give you a perfect paint match, especially since your car has never seen the light of day, so the paint hasn't faded.

Let me get this straight -- if my bumperettes are painted, but there's no one there to see them, were they really painted?

Pretty funny!

I've got to admit those do look good.

etwd- I didn't think that I would like the painted bumperettes because the black looked so good...but I was wrong, they look better painted! Thanks for the pics.
