Vinyl CF wrapping thoughts

Hi,

I got my rear bumper hit but only the black plastic is damaged (just imprinted with license plate, not cracks) I got cash from the person for repair but looking to save some cash to pay for other goodies.....

I have a few ideas on what to do with the back bumper, the plastic will be repaired with bondo/sanded in all processes

1) paint flat black and cut out fake mesh part/ heat shield

2) paint WWP (match car) and cut out fake mesh part/heat shield



3) Wrap the plastic in CF vinyl and the stock front black 'splitter' where the rotor symbol is. (can't find pics)

Thoughts?

My car currently...



Will be dropped on KW V3's and rims painted gold or white (with spacers added)... can't decide on color either.

That blue car is Anthony's (A.Mair) car, from Las Vegas.

Leave it black for sure.

I wish someone would make that rear lower rear section out of CF. That would be HOT. Till then... paint it to match your ride - looks the cleanest.

I've got some carbon faux vinyl sticker sheeting. I'll cut out a little section and see if it makes sex
