Re: Black Bumpers?

I painted mine black to hide the peeling chrome but I'm starting to think about keeping them.

Re: Black Bumpers?

Try using Plasti-dip paint. It sticks to anything and peels off at a later date. I know guys that use it on there chrome bumpers, wheels, and even a entire BMW. Check their website out or plasti dip my car website.

Re: Black Bumpers?

I think the black bumper would look better with clear park/turn lenses...

They are $20 at Summit. I went ahead and spent another $20 and got a pair 120 LED 1157 style bulbs.

Here is mine. It's a '70, but the back bumper is black and so are the wheels.
