Just ordered an EJ8 front bumper ( without the moulds ) and a type r lip from racenation and im in a bit of a pickle with when i get it painted, the whole bumper is going to be painted and so is the lip but im not sure weather or not i should get the black grill peice in the front bar painted or leave it black? My car atm has silver mesh which is there since i bought it and i wont be putting it back on the car, just like the know everyones thoughts on this.

Ok i circled the bumper grill peice whatever its called in red so people now know what i mean, sorry if the first post was a bit misleading, what im trying to decide is weather or not i should get that part painted aswell as a lot of people leave it black.

After comparing a few pictures of painted and unpained i think i may leave it black looks more aggresive looking like its a bigger hole in the bar, especially with the type r lip
