Painting lower front GFX

I've seen a few pics on here, assumed photoshops --- Anyway, they basically are painting the lower front gfx lip directly under the grill area black. It visually looks as if someone has cut out part of the lower lip.

Has anyone got a picture of this in actual PAINT?

I'm seriously contemplating it but I want to see how it'd turn out.

Something like EasySpeedCamaro did here:

If not painted, how would you do it without having a big gap between the bottom of the grill insert and the actual gfx lip.

Doing that mod to the front grille makes the car remind me of the mask in the movie "scream". Lol.
