also a few members here (rondog, etc) have painted the middle strip body colored too. I think it looks good if done correctly. I was too lazy to mask that portion off...or else I would've done it too.

if you decide to do the middle section, I think it looks best if you just do the one horizontal bar and not the vertical ones.

rondog, from those pics it looks like all that was painted on that horizontal bar is the edge, is that the case?

yeah, just the edge and the surounding area of the fogs. I actually had to photoshop a picture of my front end and submit it to the shop so they would get it exactly the way I wanted.
