How's this look?

The previous owner of my 8 had been in a accident which required the rear bumper to be replaced. Rather than painting the lower portion black, he had it all painted Titanium Gray. I thought this was kind of bland, so I painted the "mesh" inset flat black, and I'm really happy with the result. I just taped it off and rattle canned it. Worked out really well, I think.

Looks good!
The gray lower bumper is interesting..........looks better with the black inserts.
Wonder how the exhaust shrouds are going to hold up?

It will melt/distort the paint mine with the Agency Power and mazdaspeed kit is starting to show but it looks like he has the stock exhaust still.
