Blacked out bumper trend

Am I the only on that hates the blacked out bumper trend. Audi barely pulled it off, Lexus is doing a good job but everyone just sucks.

Are you referring to this, OP?



I think they do it for the "diffuser" look. But I hate black plastic on bumpers. Body color throughout just looks so much better.

Or maybe he's seeing replacement bumpers that are black ABS because the owner's too cheap to have it painted?

Confused. The OP questioned the black bumper trend, the RCF and RS5 got posted, which don't have black bumpers but black grills.

Im going to assume OP meant the giant black grill trend.

What a complete waste of a post. You post a thread with the vaguest question possible, come around every three days, and use your only other post to insult justn?


You should have put a pic in the OP dimwit.

Back in my day grilles were separate from bumpers.
