Paint SE rear bumper lower valance to color match?

[Lamski]

Has anyone painted their SE lower rear bumper valance to color match their car paint? I think the black recessed valance looks cheap and like something is missing or they forgot to paint it and doesnt really show off those exhaust tips like it should (especially on lighter colors like white and silver, you barely notice on darker colors).








This is the RK Sport rear valance and I think it looks 100x better then the black OEM one.






Thoughts on painting it? Even worse then black since it will look like 2 pieces?

I like both. The OEM looks a bit more 'muscle'.

I prefer the OEM myself. A lot of members on the 07-09 SE's have actually painted the middle part of the front bumper "flat" black as well for the same type of look.

It looks better in black in my opinion

You like this.

Do it! But I personally wouldn't do it to my car.

I like both, but if I were to get the RK Sport rear lip valance I'd probably still have them paint that center section flat black. Especially after looking at your pic in comparison to this pic:


I know it's not a Toyota at all, but I like that look.

Ive seen them in person painted and I personally think it looks better black but if you like it painted then paint it. Its your car do whatever makes you happy with it.
