Well my sister was nice enuff to back into my front bumper and give me a nice knot on my car ,sooooo my question is ? I have the ronjon bumper ordered and gettin painted when it comes in.

What color should i paint the mesh . or should i even paint it at all. My car is Abyss Blue Pearl. Any suggestions welcome.

What color is the mesh? If black, just leave it. Your color is so dark that it probably won't be noticable.

I think it comes with a stainless or brushed mesh. Im just wonderin which would look best. I could get it painted abp or black. Even thought bout Gunmetal to match my type s wheels

Hmmmmm I've seen some with the brushed metal look and didn't care for that. I'd say paint it APB. Would look great with some yellow fogs too.......

Take my word for it. Make sure you contrast the grill color or else the bumper will end up looking OEM. I'd went with an anthracite grey after painting it black and realizing the bumper looked OEM.

Actrite, go with the advise from guys who have it already the RonJon set-up, like Elegant and TimTim.

I agree with this 100%.

The contrasting tone defines the lines of the RJ bumper MUCH better than if it were color matched or painted a similar shade. My TL is WDP and my mesh is painted black.

I think i am gonna paint it the same as the type s wheels for a good contrast. and will still match the gunmetal grey of my rear aspec.

The rj bumper came in today and i gotta say im really impressed. It seems like a quality product... it was in raw form. How is the fitment when putting it on if any one knows....

Good body shop doin it but the more hours they spend fittin, more money im spendin on work hours...lol

Fitment is not 100%. But its much better than any other aftermarket kit you could've bought. If you are a perfectionist, this is not the kit for you. But all I can say is I have no regrets with my purchase at all!

Im impressed with the quality, i just want to know wat issues if any you guys had and what was invovled in fitment

I personally didn't have any issues with fitment with the front bumper, it was mainly the rear bumper that gave me hell. But the way it comes raw from RonJon, they leave some excess material on there for you to sand out, cause after all...every TL is different in the slightest way. I'd recommend having it done professionally. Anyways...welcome to the RJ club!

Thanks!....I went by the body shop today and they had it mocked up with the grill in. I thought it looked good just like that with the lines in the rj bumper. It fits really good, i agree its gonna need a lil prep and priming luv. They r gonna start with it tomorow, i will try to get sum pics posted with the progress. Also i decided to leave the metal the stainless effect it comes in. It really contrasted good with the abp.

Monday i had them give my paint a lil buff and polish luv, guy said he spent a few hours on it. All i can say is holy shizz...made that blue look hottttt!
