    Default VY SS Rear bar paint

    Hey guys,
    Just wanted to know what people think about colour coding the black plastic on the VY S/ SS rear bar? I am getting other bits and pieces colour coded and just wanted some opinions! Thanks.

    I have seen a few with colour coding there and around where the rear number plate sits.

    I personally don't think it looks good. These cars really need something to break the colour up and I think the black plastic does that pretty well.

    Maybe buy a spare one and paint that, that way if you don't like it you don't have to use it.

    My opinion

    i tried did exactly that on the ss and it looked crap so then painted it in panther mica which looked awesome then a guy saw it and offered me $200 for it so now i have the standard one back on which i need to paint when i have time.

    Mines colour coded and it looks good but my car is black so it may not have the same effect on silver.

    Yeah I guess black would work. White ones especially look horrible.

    Mine is colour coded. But mine is a dark blue so it wouldnt make much different if it was Black or not.
