What do you think?

OK guys I am trying to decided how to paint my new front bumper and need some opinions. I am thinking about painting the intakes on the bumper black along with the roof of the car.
I am going to have a stock front with the stock lip the car is IP with brembos, I just ordered some new wheels that have some black in them and i still just don't know how this is going to look. Tell me what you think, the bumper is going to be here in the morning and I need to let the body shop know by the end of the day.


Thanks

Joey D.


PS. I have never seen this but if you have some pics of a car painted like this please post them thanks again.

i say no....leave it be.....the plastic mesh is already black.....thats good enough....painting the air ducks may be a bit too much on stock bumper.....but the roof.........that would be okay to paint black

that looks better than what i saw on an 03-04 bumper, might be a result of better paint as the one i saw looked like spray paint and it was chipping...i didnt care for it, im not a big fan of false paint lines (different color paints should terminate into hardlines or seams, not soft curves IMO).
