Has anyone filled in the engraved name on their rear bumper or found a bumper without the name on their?

My OCD likes things symmetrical. So I'd like to remove it/fill it in. Or buy one without the name on the back.

Example below. (not my car)

The tag is asymmetrical...

Your photo shop skills are good. I see what you did there.
The rear emblem I'm not worried about.. I can take that off with fishing wire and a heat gun. And will do so.

Here's one with a little more symmetry.

What do you plan to do about the steering wheel?

I say this only somewhat in jest. OCD should be resisted.

Move it to the center of the car of course
Kidding, I deal with items of that nature. But if I can find a bumper that has no emblem I'd rather buy it assuming it will cost less then filling in the letters on my existing bumper.


That final pic is beautiful. Perfectly symmetrical.

Ironically, one of the very first things I noticed on the C6 when I first saw it...aside from the headlights. Coming from a C5, it really did drive me crazy for a while but I eventually just got used to it.

Asymmetry?

My criticism of the letters is they look unfinished because they're body-colored.

That is a nightmare for me LOL

Does the crossflags have locating pins? It might be harder to get off than a fishing line and heat gun.

Painting the letters is about the 1st thing I did to my car after buying it new in '10 - following the instructions from the above link. EASY project and I don't think there is one person (not counting "Vette people") who have any idea it didn't come that way from the factory. Below is my results - I can't find a closer shot...

My tag is asymmetrical too...

I would not waste any money on some fiberglass knockoff. The OEM bumper cover is a very precise part. It's flexible, it's durable, it's large, and it has to line up perfectly with three other large panels.

I don't think you can possibly beat it for quality, so I'd look into getting a body shop to fill in the letters with the appropriate flexible filler and to repaint the panel. You're on the hook for paint anyway.

What are you guys doing butchering my car?

Is that a dealer sticker under the left taillights?

That's a track map of the Nürburgring (which is a fair piece from Oklahoma).

Heidelberg is my home away from home sometimes...

It looks best to me stock. Never liked any of the decals and such.

Supercrewbear

Your choice.

J. Dub

That's my bad!

Now that is cool. You had me worried for awhile, though!

Would a McLaren F1 help you sleep at night?

Hey MOOG jus for fun can you shop that photo again and make the car a few inches wider from the center?
