I think it's because smoke from exhaust would pottentially ruin a clearcoat...If that part is black, then soot is barely noticeable.

 

I had big CompTech pipes coming out the rear of the white '03 CL-S that I traded and didn't have a problem with the white areas of the bumper.

 

Very nice....it also looks really good with meguires tire shine on it also

anyone have pics of this mod done to a GPW?

 

Yes, and some more....













This is one of my favorite mods. I think it really completes the car.

 

I'm one of the few that prefer black but that is probably because my car is an excercise
in black n' blue contrast. To me, when you paint the rear it highlights the line
at the top of the fascia and makes it look unfinished, like it was planted there as
an aftermarket piece. If the piece was somehow merged into the rest of the body, I'd
probably like it better. When it's black, those edges are hidden and all you see is a
black piece and body color.

 

Cool. I wonder how it'd look with 04 exhaust tips?!

 

i think the black looks good, but i dont care for the new rear bumper, my opinion

 

Hey saud2k I have the rear part painted with the rear fog light.
