Competition rear bumper

Can anyone who has a pre lci competition package Let me know if the black part in the picture below is black abs plastic or is it painted black ?

I really like the look of the competition style piece and wanted to see if I could just buy the OEM piece and not have to worry about painting it. Thanks in advance.

it's plastic like the other parts of your bumper and your local painter can paint it gloss/piano black for you

It legitimately takes less than 5 minutes to remove this panel. Any competent paint shop should be able to have this turned around in a days time.

Somewhat agree.

I have a comp also, and I think I would prefer that part to be body color. To me, that panel being body colored makes the rear of the car look maybe more aggressive and sporty because you can see the lines, exhaust, and the diffuser type of fins better.

Doubt I'll get mine painted, it's not that important to me, but I think given the preference I would prefer it to be painted.

Big +1 on this. That piano black piece annoys the crap out of me.

Interesting that a lot of ppl dont like the piano black piece. I'll most likely pop mine off and get it wrapped. That way its easy to reverse if I dont like it.

If your car was MBB, I would consider trading you for my black comp piece. I also wouldn't want to deal with having it painted. And it's not a big enough deal for me to spend any time on it really. But i'm like 70/30 leaning towards body color match bumper trim.

IMO, the M5C bumper makes the back of the car look lighter and more aggressive. I like the look.

I wouldn't say it's my least favorite part but I like the body color bumper too. We always want what we don't have

I threw on this carbon one this week. Took 30 minutes. I prefer it over the black factory colored one.

The 550 also has that part in black, throws me off when I see one from the back.
