Bumper paint and racing stripes on my Lightning

Downs08 · Sep 26, 2023

Should I extend the stripes onto the lower section of the bumper that I just had painted to match? I like it as is but I can’t decide whether to extend the stripes.

I dont think it's needed. I don't see it getting you much for the effort. Nice look! More pics??

No. The opening in the lower grill ends it perfectly.

I’ve had the grill painted for about 9 months and 25K miles and I only have a couple small nicks in the paint. No chips.

I think you didn't mean to post this here.

Yep, I did. I response to his question of "should I extend the stripes".

I don't think he needs to. Doesn't get him much more effect.

You should . You know you should.
Otherwise, it won't be stripes all the way down.
Make it perfectly striped, so that you may feel good knowing it's so.

I'm not a big racing stripe fan, but this looks awesome on your truck just the way it is.

Only you can decide what you like best. Me, I like it as is.

I like very much the grill update.

edit:

I really want to say, I wish Ford would have painted the grill as you did. It is a big improvement.

I would do that but I'm afraid I would mess it up.
