Painted front Bumper Grill & Fogs or NOT??

Well since my FRONT bumper got fawked up, A replacement will be needed and painted. I have been contemplating on how much to paint?

Give me your input if you would... (PLEASE)

1. Painted just like stock.
2. Painted just like stock and around the "driving lights"
3. Painted just like stock and front grill area and around "driving lights"


Also if you have pics of your cars with different areas painted, please post the pics.

Thanks All,
Jim

Mine just got fucked up about 4 months ago and my dad ordered a new bumper and he painted the whole bumper blue. So like the grates in the middle that were black are now blue. also around the fog lights. I can wait to see it, I'm installing it this week. Currently it is in the package still wrapped up. But once it is on the car I will take pics. So if you want to wait till this weekend i'll show you what it all comes out to look like.

A car just kicked out one of those construction cones in front of my car so I have to get my bumper replaced. I am planning on having the body shop paint the new bumper around the driving lights and not the grill. Since my car is the blue, it may not even show that much. Anyways, it will probably be a few weeks before they get to it.

o and I think you might not want to paint such a thin piece of plastic. Rich chips and things will kill it in no time and on a brighter colored car like the blue it would be noticeable... unless maybe you could protect it with some of that ultrashield stuff... I really like what rondog did... looks great... but again I'm not sure how long it will last if you're on the freeways...
