Default Opinion on front bumper

I purchased a 2001 Cobra front bumper for my Mustang, along with a Mach 1 grill delete. I noticed that the Cobra bumper already has the lower part of the grill delete molded into it. At this point I figured "Oh I guess on a Cobra that must be painted black" but when I looked it up on the internet I saw that it is body color. Which would you prefer, painted in black or body color?

i like the body color better. when i install mine i am contemplating painting it to match. I think it has a cleaner look when painted.

sounds like you should be asking yourself this question. Body color just means one more thing to wax. Are you going for a yellow/black theme? if not id say body color!
