Defaintly Paint. The honeycomb blackout is nice and all, but paint looks way way cleaner.

Santas got the list, I checked it twice, believe you me, Ive been nice Im also thinking of painting the spoiler to match as well, oh, and the black out 3rd brake light. I dont really like the LED as much but dont wanna just stick a black decal over it either, so i guess ill settle

In all honesty, I think it'd look better minus the spoiler. And a drop...you're riding high

I got mine painted for 50 bucks. Honey comb is like what, 200? And the honeycomb wasnt black black, like it was more a gray. My whole theme is black and white so I just decided to paint it. After i get the covers and the chin spoiler ill be rockin. My next big investment is rims though. Check this great deal out.....

Im kind of afraid of dropping it though. I live in colorado springs and this is my daily driver. In the winter that snow can add up and I dont want my front bumper becoming a snow plow. Oh well, ill live through it!

Yeah, I know I'm not going to drop my car any...It's just a recipe for disaster, I think. Looks good, sure but not for me right now. If you ever make your way up north let me know.

i would recomend the paint instead of the plastic piece, a friend of mine had the plastic piece on his and he said it just collected water behind there when he washed it or when it rained making it a pita trying to keep it dry after a wash or whatever plus the paint just looks better IMO
