Black Out Front

you have the option of using either vinyl or to paint the bumper.

There is a guy on ebay who sells vinyl for the lancer in two and three piece sets for around 50 dollars. The good thing about vinyl is if you ever want to go back to original you can take it off.

If you look at the photo gallery lancered painted his and it looks good, basically if you go the paint route you have to wet sand the area you wish to paint and mask everything else off and go at it.

I think it looks good myself just havent gotten around to doing it yet.

 

if you decide to use vinyl, go to a local sign shop, you can buy more than what you need for less than 20 dollars. and if you decide paint, just wet sand, wipe off clean, mask off what you don't want sprayed and spray away..

 

I vinyl on mine and I like it, the hardest part was cutting the line on the sides. Just like gator4life108 said you can buy the vinyl kit off of ebay or you can buy it by the roll on there as well. I just like having the option of going back to the stock look.

 

I vinyl'd the bumper and painted the grill

 

I haven't had a problem with my vinyl, don't know about others though. One of the good things about vinyl is an extra protectant on the bumper from rock chips and such. If it ever gets messed up, its just a matter of re-applying more instead of sanding and painting

I'm sure its a matter of personal opinion more than anything else though.

 

If it is done and applied right, it will last you for awhile.

I had vinyl on my bumper for about 6 months, no problems with it. Until I got bored one weekend and decided to paint it

 

I got DUPLICOLOR bumper paint (flat black) will that work? of course sanding and such i just dont want it to start cracking after a while

 

Yeah, it will work. I say, put a premier first before applying the duplicolor. Heres my blacked out front, will be adding another vinyl on the bottom. (Shitty picture, taken with my camera phone) Will update when i get the bottom done. :thumbright:

 

mmmm i love that ..looks awsome on my car lol *same car* my dealership saw it and asked me how i did it and the guy was like that voids your warently i looked at him and he started laughing lol but yea its awsome...i wana see how the whole thing looks...diy coming?? for vynal? i painted mine

 

I did it myself for the vinyl, pretty easy. I should have done a "how to" but i will for the bottom piece. Its really not that hard, i suggest if your doing it yourself to have another person holding the vinyl while you straighten it out with a credit card.

 

my vinyl

this is how my vinyl came out on the car i just bought the roll of matte black vinyl at a sign shop in south florida called brazil signs

 

Anyone know where to get vinyl in Toronto? I've checked Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire. I have no clue where else to check. Thanks.

 

ebay has some for 2.99 a foot.

Btw, it looks great, but I'd definitely cover up the red dot.
