Default Painting bumper

So, was getting ready to plastidip the durango. Thought about this.

Painting the grill all black and trying to make a black stripe on the bumper like the charger so it looks like the grill opening is on big opening.

What do you think? Too ricer? The grill trim wont line up as well on the durango

In my opinion plastidip would look horrible. Get someone to photoshop your idea and then see if you like it. If you end up liking it get it painted.

Steve, I'm not saying the Charger looks like a import. but it does resemble the Evo's front grill. I'm saying the DD will look rice due to the bumper coming forward 8-10 inches forward of the grill where the Charger is almost flush causing the illusion with the black bumper paint to be a complete grill opening were ours will look like we just painted the middle of our bumper black.IMO of course.

I agree. The Charger lines are fine it is just that their treatment of the grille is a tad overboard. From a distance it reminds me of the Chryslers of the early to mid 1950s or Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino.
