has anyone removed the black plastic piece under the bumper? I am thinking about painting it body color. how hard is it to remove and can i drive with out it while they are painting it?

son, stop messing around with your car. that poor car of yours has been through enough. how many times has it been repainted since it got total? now you want to paint the piece under the bumper? did you painted your stock c6 wheel white too and added some sticker to make it look like z06 wheels? you must really like the color white.

the front or rear?

If you are talking about the front air dam that is on hinges then it removes easily and is a fairly cheap part. I think less than fifty bucks. Best bet would be get a new one to paint because the old one probably has some scratches.

The C5 is on hinges. The C6 is not. I would not paint the front. It takes quite a beating and paint would never last.

Hmm I did not realize it is not on hinges anymore. It still is designed to give though. I agree I would not paint it unless it is a show car or something that is not driven much.

I do not scrape mine but I drive like an old lady on the street. Plus my licence plate is the first line of defense when it comes to scraping.

I think the painted from spoiler will go well with the hoodscoop. You may as well do the rear valance at the same time.

Howdy!

Install a trailer hitch and hook up some chains to it - then get a 5-ton boom crane and a 1000 gallon tub of white paint - one dunk and it's all done!

Plus you'll get sweet matching white tires, trim, brakes, etc., and if you leave the windows down, an equally sweet matching white interior!

The front lip/air dam is in 3 peices. It is very soft so if you paint it add significant flex to the paint. Three or four fasteners for each piece. If you paint it, plan on a re-paint every month or so. The rear is a little stiffer but still flexes. I have never had it off so I am not sure. Good luck.

IMHO, the rear lloks better black, especially on your car. Gives a nice contrast that goes with your blacked out taillights and the blacked out side lights. Very nice looking car btw

jklarkpimp

thx and thx for your opinion

jklarkpimp

i think when its painted back there it looks like an aftermarket lip

timd38

I can't figure out what you are trying to say.

jklarkpimp

gives it a new look..........like an aftermarket bumper.....looks custom

Dude...

I know people have given you a lot of grief, but your ride looks good style-wise, knowing that YOU said some of the add-ons will be done "correctly" as cash flow permits!

Honestly, even some of the accepted mods some people do are *way* tacky, so hey, each to their own.

Definitely don't take anything I say other than just a little joshin' with you.

............now that you showed a picture of your rear I think it looks great in White, very custom. When I had a C5 the rear was all the same color and C4 people use to comment that the butt/rear of the car looked way too big. I think GM was listening and this was their way of breaking it up .......nice job......looks good both ways....

jklarkpimp

thanks......i havent had it painted yet........i kind of like the look painted white under the rear bumper......looks a little more finished to me

Same color makes the butt look big. If that's what you're into
