I've seen at least one here on the forum but can't remember who owned the car. Hopefully someone has a pic for you.

I don't have any other rear end pics besides the one in my avatar. I'll snap one tomorrow if no one posts up before then as it's already dark outside.

I love a black lower fascia, but this is too much. Not for me. No offense to the owner though.

Couple of different shots for you. It's gloss black with red metal flake. You would be surprised at how many people DO like it. I am always getting complimented. Although there will be those that say it's to much and just like the bottom part done in black. I had both. I love it this way, and that's what counts

Thanks.
Remember, as my painter say's..it's all with the clear coat! My guy put on 7 coats (each coat baked ). This way when they compounded the car I would be left with 4/5 coats of clear
