Dude if your going to go euro, get the actual parts or don't do it. Ugh that's the reason why I never painted my american rear bumper cover. Its too wide,, and looks very odd with out the paint

i like the look i think it matches well with the sides. i no its not euro and in no way is it a equal contender for reel euro bumpers but i think it looks good for factory American bumpers

Its a very cheap alternative to buying a euro bumper and I think it looks just fine.
