That's one clean C5. Nice job on the detail.

Looks good. I have considered blacking out my lower bumper too.

Looks very nice!
Thanks for sharing. Any special tricks you've discovered to "pretty" her up like this?

Thanks guys..
Thanks!

I used electrical tape so I could follow the curve of the bumper. Took a little effort getting it just right. I think I used that plastic spray crap in a can that everyone is "dipping" their rims etc with... It has held up surprisingly well. It's been on the car for roughly 3 years I think.
I think I sprayed a light coat, waited a little. Then sprayed another coat, waited a little. And then sprayed the final coat. And then you have to peel the tape before it dries or else it might rip off the plastic spray with it
For these photos I didn't buff it or anything.. but one "tip" that might be useful to c5 owners is I bought a soft bristle brush and I use it for that little gap in between the rocker panel and rear quarter panel. It works well for getting all the black dirt out of that tight spot
Thanks!
