Default GT Rear Bumper with Black Lower Edge?

Has anyone put a GT rear bumper on their V6 Stang and had the lower edge painted black to match the rocker panels?
I have a screamin' yellow vert and was thinking of putting a GT bumper on.
Then I thought it might look sweet with the lower edge of the bumper painted black (the raised section around the bottom).
Might tie in nice with the black rocker panels, kinda give it a black ground effect.
Then I could add a black chin spoiler at some time to complete the look.
Anyone have this done on their stang could you post some pics?
Thanks!

Unfortunately I don’t have photos has of yet, but I was planning on doing exactly that on my V6’er. I’m replacing the original bumper with the GT one. It is to be painted this weekend and I’ll try to post some pictures over the next couple weeks. My "Kate" is Dark Candy Apple Red, and I was planning on adding pretty much everything else you mentioned... eventually.

I painted it myself when I bought the takeoff GT rear bumper since it was already off the car it was just a matter of cleaning it real good masking it off and scuffing it lightly then I spray painted 3 coats of Krylon primer followed by 3 coats of Krylon flat black&2 wet coats of Krylon clear coat to seal it the masking and waiting inbetween coats was the hardest part if you had to buy the paint&masking tape&sandpaper your looking at less than $20 plust you can say you did it yourself
Thanks for the comments

Anyone know a cheap website to get a GT bumper, and what do they usually cost to paint a solid color? Black in my case...
