Default bumper clipping question (for duals)

For those of you who clipped to install your duals, did you do anything to your bumper afterwards? ie touch-up paint, other preventative meaures?

I didn't have to do anything. It looks like factory.

I didn't put any touchup paint on the cut, but the fascia material is black and my car is too. The bumper is urethene, so you don't need touch-up paint as a preventive measure. But if your car is a light color like Afixers, you'd want to do it so the cut doesn't show.

I've looked at some threads where the people gave the steps they took to notch the bumper, but I never saw anything about about treating it afterwards. My car's black, so I shouldn't have to worry, but I guess this might help out someone who's car was lighter...Thanks!

I don't know man, it would kind of match the two-tone theme you have going- the stripes and seats and everything Those seats look awesome by the way, did you have them custom made or is it a kit?

I don't have mine painted, but it looks fine for now. I ordered touch up paint (hopefully dealer has it tomorrow) just because I am a perfectionist but here's how it looks now with no paint:
