Deciding wether to do that ceta mod. I believe that's what it's called where you paint the bumper. I'm pretty sure I'd go with a semi gloss black.

It's very easy to do as long as you take your time prepping everything. I did mine in flat black and don't regret it one bit. A flat black will look great up against the glossy red paint.

Its a insert and if you don't like it or want to go back to stock you just remove it. (too bad you just missed the free shipping deal they had going on.)
