Yes it is much better looking. I did mine too. But damn, these out of state body shops are making a killing! I paid $750 for my job from a reputable shop. They did regret the price later, haha. Used factory paint too. Not a 100% perfect match but in certain lighting areas you cannot tell the difference. Breaks necks everywhere. Check it..

im painting my lowers on my silver graphite fx next week.. have been searching for pictures of painted fx's with no luck..

HELP!!! white looks great painted! ive always expected exposed plastic to be painted on cars.

I want to paint the chrome handles in the car ad all the lower moldings.

The white on white is sick good job on that. 750 was a steal.....

Lookin good guys, the one thing I don't like about the FX is the exposed plastic. Would love to get it done but don't have the $$$ right now.

YEAHHH THATS THE SHOP MAN... I THINKTHIS GUY DONT WANA DOIT, THEY HACE TO SANDED AND PRIMED IM WITH YOU NICEEE... i wanna do that

I painted the front and rear bumpers over mainly to fill in the two holes from the license plate bracket and because there were a few scratches I couldnt look at anymore. I had them paint the flat black plastic as well to match and it look amazing. Couldnt be happier. I have Black Obsidian so it looks great. I left the rocker panels alone and just use Mothers back to black, plus I thought it would look a bit weird if the rocker panels were shiny. Also they take a ton of abuse, so they are better left alone. The body shop I went to repainted both the front and rear bumpers, along with my grill for $800. Came out great!

To all those people that tell you that the paint wont stick... they just dont want to do the work. My guy sanded, primed, and painted the flat black plastic and it is fine. You will just need to find someone who is willing to do the work and knows what they are doing.

Before I read this I was going to tell you to shop around a bit more. Seems a bit high to me, but at least you know you should expect a pristine job. Maybe hit up a few more body shops before the 20th in case you can get it done cheaper. Either way... you will love the end product. Good luck.

man. i wanted to do this to mine fx.. mine is white too.. thnx god you did it before me.


im iffy on it.. i think the front would look better if it had a diff bumper - like example rookies. the white stock one dont just do it for me.
But i like the back tho :D
