if you are painting the side sills (skirts), definitely paint the front lip and rear valance... it doesn’t sit any lower than the sides... it would look odd if not painted.

Better idea is get nismo or Kurookie bumper and paint all.

If you are going to keep that front end just have it repainted to match.
