Black Rear end!
I'm thinking of painting the back of my car black and was wondering if anyone had pics to post so I could get an idea of how it might look.
My vert is Mag Red so I think it would look good.
Any help would be grat.
I've posted a pic of how it looks now so if there are any photo shoppers out there........

Do the whole tail section, that's what I did including my SLP big single tip. I smoked the reverse lights but left my recessed modded halos alone. I have a semi-rich blower tune so my rear end is usually speckled black. You can do it yourself too.. Fine line tape, scotch bright, paint, clear. Some wet sanding and buffing after a few coats you're done.

BUT, if you do it - I would want a darker theme for your entire car (black wheels, tinted windows, blacked out taillights, etc) - are you ready for that?

If you decide to paint it, I'd recommend just doing the lower portion of the fascia - not the whole back end.

Start with the lower Valance and then move on from there - perhaps someone can PHOTO CHOP a pic for you
