if you paint it like the "after" pic, fill in that area so its flush with the rest of the bumper.... then u'd get that smooth, clean look like the pic u posted up... if you did that, then i'd say after..

I like the before picture. But... if you kept the black line..... IMO you should get one that it solid black... and doesnt advertise "2.8L Multi-Port Fuel Injection"

After picture looks clean too.. but yea... it'd need to be filled in... or it'd look like something was missing.

Fluted Hawks, the 2.8 badge is a good throw-off idea.
Although badgeless is also the way to go when your car's got
