Default Front bumper fangs...

I have a black 370 with some dings on the front bumper when I purchased it, I am going to have it repainted (and the front license plate holder filled properly) but my question is has anybody with a black car painted the whole inset (fang I think you guys call it) part a matte gray-ish color? I wanted to do it on a white one...but I ended up with a black car and figured if I'm having it repainted anyways what the heck? I browsed the gallery but couldn't really find one. Please post pics/suggestions...

do you have other matte grayish color on your car to match?

how about you just get the CF fang cover?

unless you like the fangs, which most people don't, why would you accentuate it by painting it a lighter color? most people that don't have a black car paint the fangs black to hide it or get a CF cover for it

but like i said if you like the fangs then painting them a lighter color will make them stick out more...have you considered a matte black?
