NEW Small MOD: CLK 500 style amg bumper

I thought I do this to try to immulate CLK500's amg bumper style. What do you guys think? A few other members have done something similar I think, but I did it so that a thin piece of the bumper is still visible on the bottom as opposed to blacking out the whole piece above the exhaust.

I guess if it doesn't really grow on me, I can just rip it off. It's matte black vinyl.

if you want to do it... make it the whole bottom part black instead of leaving that thin strip.

this is the one great thing about non-black AMG kit which you can just make that bottom part black and it looks whole lot more sporty.

I don't know. I kinda like the thin strip better, like the CLKs other various amg cars. It took me a lot longer to make it so that the thin strip shows. It would of been a lot easier to make the whole piece black though.

When the whole piece is blacked out, it looks a little funny cause the exhaust looks too low. I dunno.....

I wouldn't stick vinyl on my car as a bumper mod. Leave it stock.
