To do or not to do, that is the question?

Rough chop time... best I could do with the crappy program I have on this laptop of mine...

Consider this a CETA-style mod for a different kind of car. I'm on the fence. Getting the 3M clear paint protection system installed very soon but need to do this first if I decide to go for it. Thoughts?

Without:

With:

One more car for reference:

It's kind of like the Sports Appearance Package bumper look without the "tacked on" look of the package itself which really appeals to me as it looks alot more clean and more aggressive too I think. Just dont know if I'm 100% sure on it or not.

Sports Appearance Package for reference (FWIW I'll have those same inset grilles painted body color to replace the flush stockers):

Def do it, but be sure you have other black accents (like wheels) to really set it off. Otherwise, it will look out of place. IMHO. Very nice tho.

definitely worth doing it, makes the car look meaner, doesn't the sports appearance package have the rear bumper painted as well?

The SAP package has a smooth body colored back bumper. The regular GTOs have a painted lower portion. My wheels are going to be full polished but I will have other black accents to tie it all in together like tinted side markers, tinted windows, the tailights are mostly black, etc.

Basically Spice Red is the main color, black/grey is secondary, and silver/polished is complimentary (aside from the wheels being fully polished).
