Painted rear end
Has anyone painted their entire rear, not just the lower fascia?
I kinda like the look on the C5R and am thinking about doing the entire backside. Any pics would be much appreciated

I've seen at least one, maybe two pics of cars posted here where the entire rear of the fascia has been blacked out. Don't recall the forum member(s) at the moment. Hope someone can do a better job of pointing you in the right direction. I can say that it didn't look too bad and I believe one of the cars was pewter in color.

a guy has that done locally on his yellow z06, to me it kinda looks like someone forgot to shave, but it does look kinda intimidating at the same time
