Default Ideas please???

I'm getting ready to put my z71 tahoe in the body shop to fix scratches. Due to going in a bar ditch after it rained and got many scratches on it. I have thought about going with maybe a darker gray/silver on the front bumper or maybe even a little black. I was wondering if any of you had yours painted different or maybe ideas. I tried to google it but didnt find much on the new body style. I do plan on taking the door mouldings off to give a slicker look.


Here it is muddy.

Black like in the pic or gunmetal would be cool.the center of those bumpers come off from the rest if I remember right,so it should be hard as far as painting but may be alittle of a PITA to take apart,but shouldn't be a problem with a good shop
