Default Should I?

Should I paint the black piece on the back bumper? I asked around and the cheapest was $150. Should I waste money on that piece? $150 is not bad, right? I don't know why Honda decided to have it black instead of the same body-color. Totally sucks!

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about:



If you like what you see (the chrome oval exhaust tips), go here, I'm selling them:

I've only seen pictures with that black piece painted. I think it looks somewhat "thick" when it is painted. By keeping it black, I think it has a "lower profile" look.

Oh, I thought it would make the whole bumper fuller, thus giving the car a lower profile. I'm gonna do a search to find pics of the painted ones. $150 is not bad, right?

Teamredline is the guy with the white s2k with the 19" Axis Hagens has the black part painted. It looks pretty good. I think that it looks good painted or not.

If you already sold your exhaust tips...can you tell us where you got them? They are definetely an enhancement. Any change in the exhaust note with those?
