Default Delete em, paint em or leave em?

I'm taking my 95 into the paint shop to have the bumper repaired and repainted tomorrow morning. I can't decide if I should leave the black bumperettes, paint them red or delete them. Need your Help!

1) keep them
2) delete them
3) paint them

In that order of preference.

imho, deleted looks good only if you have a Euro license plate....and painting looks a little odd. Like little red pimples.

If you don't use them, I think the car looks best w/o.
I want to do the same mod, but I stack my cars in my garage. With the tight clearances between the 2 cars, I actually use the rear bumperettes on the p-car........otherwise they would be gone.

Delete.

I think black looks best with the red.

Call me crazy, but I actually like the black bumperettes on the rear bumper.

Leave 'em. Save money. Spend on track event.

Then again, I like basket handles, too.
