so glad i found this site!!! so my rear bumper trim on my 07 jeep compass started looking like crap faded chemical stained ect. so i decided to re paint it. preped with adhesion promoter then gave it 3 coats of trim paint. personally i think it looks great.. now i came across the silver bumper piece avaliable on the full loaded compasses. i thought it would look good black. the piece only cost me 50$ but i don't know if im sold on it i need opinions. im thinking it would look ok when i take my advertisement off the window. i need your suggestions. im going for a blacked out look. the first pic is the before of the trim

Welcome and keep them coming...........like CL said you need to emphasize a bit of the Compass name............

My 2 cents

 

[smokey01]

It looks ok but it is missing something. I would have to agree with CL and FFL. I've gone black on all my accessories as well so if you're looking for some ideas I have various pieces on mine already.

Looks Ok to me, but I'll side with contrasting the Compass logo. You might want to check Ebay for decals.

Like the black, looks good, and as far as highlighting the Compass name/logo, since you have the khaki metallic, which was the color I was fond of, go to your dealer, pick up the touch-up paint, and with some time and patience, inlay the letters with the paint, that way you keep with the black, Compass stands out and it still matches your Jeep! Just a thought....

I thought that too but I say that too many times so I didn't want to say it first

I agree wtih Cherokee, I think that look pretty nice with "Compass" filled in with the tan.
