After getting my smooth vent caps color matched white, the chrome bumpers and grille stand out even more. I'm trying to go for as clean a look as possible, if you can't tell from my sig pic. I'm pretty sure I'm going to paint them, but the question is, what color? I've got a few options for front and back, roughly mocked up in photoshop. Excuse the quality, I know it's rough, but I just wanted to get an idea of what my options would look like.

Front:
1 - Paint the bumper and entire chrome grille assembly all white (not the actual black grille, though, just the chrome)

2 - Paint the bumper and side parts around the lights white, while painting the outline around the actual grille black.

Rear:
1 - Paint chrome bumper flat or textured black
2 - Plasti-Dip the chrome black

3 - Paint the chrome white like a Z71

I'm definitely leaning towards the black rear bumper, but I'm torn on the front. I think if done correctly, the black around the grille could look really cool, I just don't want it to look goofy or forced. It kinda reminds me of a Tundra or a stormtrooper. Anyone seen it done before? Thanks, and I appreciate any feedback.

Definitely white for the the rear... I'm kinda liking the black for the front though.
