Thinking about color match grill and rear bumper

I'm going to use dupilcolor what would be best I was thinking about maybe red for both but I don't want it to look dumb so what color would look good

I had the color match grill on my 2000 ranger, I didn't like it that much personally.. to me it kind of gave the truck a kids toy look, I custom built a ford f.250 grill to fit and I think its almost perfect.. as far as your bumpers go just remember if you like to bump things you'll have some ugly paint chips to repair in the future.. my bumpers are paint match and have more chips than the truck itself... lol

Yep, that's what paint match bumpers get ya if you don't repaint each month.. lol

Danielr48888 10-13-2013 09:32 AM

Yup I've had mine for about 2 months now

youbastard88 10-13-2013 09:36 AM

Well I can tell you now if you're its main mechanic you'll know everything about it by next year. These older rangers can be the best vehicles around if you know how to keep em running, mine gives me a pretty lil migrain about once a month. Maybe I just got the bad egg tho.. haha

Danielr48888 10-13-2013 09:40 AM

Well mine got a check engine light it hasn't effected performance so I'm not really worried about seems like it been a pretty good little truck u can't really get no better looking truck

youbastard88 10-13-2013 09:45 AM

Na.. yea my check engine light stays on because of my fuel gauge.

Danielr48888 10-13-2013 09:49 AM

Yeah I think mines fuel related because my guage bounces sometimes and I tend to smell gas probably a fuel cap I'm thinking

I color matched my grille. Turned out great! I used duplicolor for the paint and the clear, no problems so far and I've had it for months.
