The whole bumper, or just the lower recess section? Several of the later around here, have not seen any of the former.

Here's mine. I had it done at a shop. It's 3M satin black. They got all inside the vents and everything. They put the car up on ramps on the rear so they could get way underneath it.

I did mine in a carbon fiber look to match the roof, and mirrors. I purposely left the color to show in the vents

, because I felt it gave it a little more pop.

Digital camo upper and plastidip lower with red pin strip separating the two.

Mine is liquid wrapped. I did the rear face of the bumper in matte clear plastidip, and then started drawing on it with UV stable Sharpies in my own custom art, free hand. The black at the bottom is also plastidip.

^That is cool. I remember seeing your car and sparking some ideas which eventually led to my digital camo theme.

Most like my car and the look when they walk around the back is funny to see their face, but there are always some that don't understand why and or think it cheapens the car. Doesn't matter.

That looks like my TV when I lose reception during a storm.

LOL, like I said it's not for everyone which is why it's on MY car. I'll switch up the vinyl design down the road for sure. It's a blank canvas with gentle curves you can easily express some personal artistic features.

I am looking for my C5 FRC photos, but this is one of the first appearance mods I did to my C6 Z06. Matte/Satin wrap.
