If you're going to paint it a solid color (no graphics), I'd leave them black. Otherwise, it looks like a cheaper paint job IMHO.

Replace your front bumper with one of the newer ones, and throw 91-92 RS GFX all the way around the car. Then have 'em paint the whole thing, headlight pockets included. Then, you won't even have to worry about the three holes. That's what I would do...

Id say keep the headlight pockets black and do those three hole things the body color so they dont stand out as much i think that would look really cool
