Painting front bumper cover, opinions needed.

I bought my car with a bra on it covering some body damage over 4 years ago so I think its finally time to fix it. Anyways, my question is should I repaint the new bumper just as the old one is(huge pic)...

...or paint the fog light pocket black like Brent did on his.

Im leaning towards the black around the fog lights but what do you think? Thanks guys!

Paint it black most definitely. That looks so much better.

Paint it black, it definitely looks much better. Be sure to repaint the headlight pockets black also.

Thanks guys.

Also, what is your opinion on "shaving" the front emblem?

I'm considering this too... That or a silver bowtie overlay on my bowtie (Yellow would look best on yours I think).

I like it there. However, shouldn't be a hard decision as these are just stuck on. Peel it off and if you don't like it, stick it back on
