Default Has anyone painted the space between the headlights and grill?

Seen the question about the painting the inside of the headlights and that got me wondering if anyone has painted their front bumper in-between the grill and headlights like some of the 2010's. Seems like it might look pretty good.

I meant paint them black like the red 2010 is (on the top right of the forum).

Yeah, I think you might be right... But, I like it on the 2010's.

I don't. It looks like cheap plastic to me and not an actual part of the body like it does on the 05-09's.

This is Wicked Stang's car from that thread. More pics there.

Yeah it looks good, but smoking the headlights is a must.

Doesn't look as bad as I thought it might. I think it would look better though if the black came a bit lower down, with just a thin line of black along the edge of the bumper where it meets the grille and headlights to eliminate the two spots where the red starts to curve up.
