Default Painted Black Parts on Front Bumper [Photoshop Needed]

Curious if anyone has painted the front bumper black "slide blades" (not even sure if this is the right term - I'm talking about the L shaped plastic piece surrounding the outer mesh grills under the headlights) to match the body color? Or if anyone has photoshopped how this might look? Interested in seeing how it would look...

I like the black accent better, especially with the front lip and side skirts black.

Yeah, me too. Painted to body color looks like it got punched and developed a fat lip.

IMO, these parts should be CARBON FIBER, For me, it's all the plastic parts (esp. the side intakes) on the RS that keep me away. I see an aftermarket opportunity here....

Carbon fibre isn't lighter than plastic. It's just stronger, so for non-load bearing parts like vents etc. it serves no purpose other than bling, which lends an aftermarket air to put it nicely.

Suncoast sells the carbon GT2 RS carbon side intakes for around 3k.

DB Carbon does a nice job. Can do any black plastic in carbon. They do an overlay on OEM parts.
