I applaud the creativity, but not for me.

I would like to see BG offer less rear black out as an option for MY16. Being I would only replace my VR C6 with a TR C7, I can't get comfortable with how much black is back there. But agree, the darker colours blend in nicely with the exiting fascia treatment.

I like it and virtually have the same effect on my car. The NRB upper color is hard to discern from the carbon flash below in some lighting conditions. Kind of makes me glad I didn't spend extra to have my spoiler and mirrors in carbon flash.

I don't like it, but it's not my car. To each their own.

I'm glad that you like it, but i'm keeping mine stock. Looks like they (or you) did a nice job with the paint, though.

This makes the car look taller, narrower, busier, more bulky. But it does make it look different than all the others if that is the goal.

Personally I like it, if my car was a lighter color than NRB I would strongly consider having it done.

NRB and Carbon Flash go extremely well together. I have a NRB car and was surprised when my car arrived. The color contrast is just enough to initially make you look again. Love it. The 2015 will have color matched vents and louvers as an option. Evidently designers decided the rear facia should be left untouched. I agree, every paint mod I have seen doesn't enhance the look.

I like the black bumper, and would've painted it black if it came body colored.
