Those IROCs arent staying I wouldn't drive it in public with those wheels, on no way, plus they wont fit in about a week when I get my 13" brakes on... You cant see the back but I'm already sporting some black 17's to fit over my 12" rear discs. I was just wanting to see what you guys thought of the front of the car... I'm using BMW ellipsoids and Mercedes W123 fog lights. I painted the bumper because I wanted to see how it would look, welded up the bumper bolt holes and grinded all the chrome off.
Good eye on the '68, its my dad's but its my project to fix up.
I kinda like the painted bumper look.... if done right. When you paint the bumper, it seems to me you move the design of the car in a different direction. Maybe a little BMWish? In any case, the challenge is to keep the rest of the theme going. I think the reason many here dislike the painted bumper look is that they remember that look from the 80s & 90s cars with their soft colors and billet galore. Think out your theme and the look can be a good one in my opinion.
I like the painted bumpers. I mean if it is done right. I say stick with it make it different but make sure that the stance of the car is right and that it fits and everything will be all good.
I think painted bumpers generally look good on cars where the bumper is integrated into the body, whether from the factory or modified. When a bumper is hanging out in the breeze, separated from the body, it wants to be more of an accent piece, i.e. chrome.
I dont care for everything being painted in the front and the way the car sits......Also the wheels are dated.........Sorry
Hey nobodys perfect
Like I said before those wheels are on there so I can roll the car around... O and the car is on jackstands at the moment... got some plans for the suspension, possible radius arm setup for the rear
