So the body shop will have to paint my new rear bumper next week and it got me thinking about the front. (I plan on posting about my accident

sometime this weekend) That post is here.

I was looking at the T2 and T3 bumpers and it has given me some ideas. I don't want to actually get one of these bumpers because it's too new skeuwl for me and I am trying to keep her more retro. I thought about getting the inserts and putting them in, cheaper that way, cause I do like them but it doesn't fit my theme.

I am thinking of painting the front area, between the headlights satin/flat black ala the LS7. But where I need y'alls help is the lower splitter area.

So, should I paint the splitter ABM, red arrows, and keep the insets, green arrows, black?

OR Keep the splitter black and paint the bumper black between the purple lines where the purple arrows are kinda like the T2 bumper?

Or just leave it alone and just paint in between the headlights ala LS7 and keep the splitter black.

So three options for ya. Please share your opinions.
