    All depends on the color of the car, some look better than others.

    Your car looks good with red bumpers, Smegnl. I think small bumpers, bright paint and blacked out tail panels are some of the keys to pulling it off. I don't think it would look good on my car, for instance.

    I think, the key on the front, is to paint the radiator and all core support, semi-gloss black. Don't give the things behind the bumper, the chance to stand out. JMHO.:Handshake

    I agree... Especially if you have an aluminum radiator:

    Many years ago a local person (I assume a girl, but you never know) painted their Maverick all pink. Bumpers, wheels, wipers, grill, door handles, everything.
