paint it black, it will blend good with the grill, and just completely remove the rear, car looks WAAYYYY better without it

White. With a black crossbar/Evo mod it'll look great. Mine is silver to match the car and it stands out in the grille with the Evo mod

Do it white with the black crossbar... I got a blk coupe an did both of mine black w/ the chrome outside an everyone I look at em, I kinda regret it..


Out Of curiosity tho... If you sand/strip watever the Goldish part down on the bowties, is it chrome underneath???
