Painting bottom cladding black and black grill.

Painting bottom cladding black and black grill.
Just putting a little feeler out there for concensus, and to see if anyone has pics. I need to get my bumper repainted, becuase it was poorly repainted before I bought it and the paint is peeling. So I was thinking of going all the way getting the two-tone grey painted black to match the rest of my car.
As well, I was thinking of having the center part of the grill painted black - everything except for the emblem and chrome around the outside.
All this, combined with smoke tint and possibly lowering I was thinking would look pretty bad-***. The thing would be I will be running stock rims. Can't justify those right now and haven't found the right ones anyway. Thoughts? Pics?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi,
I got the bumpers and panels painted all black 3 years ago. I like it much more than the grey bumpers. The car looks newer and cleaner.

You know on black I actually prefer the two tone. On my goldish color, I'm not as much a fan.
Brian, did you see the blowout deal Steve G is having on Lsportline stuff for the LS? If you're going to be repainting anyway... might as well spend the $200 to get the aftermarket kit on there
1 set left! I know I bought one, not sure who else did.

I'm gonna think about this. I guess it depends on how low I can get the paint guy to go. And I need to figure in all the other money I'm spending on routine maintanence this summer ( plus, car died today ). Timing belt's getting done on Monday. Winter tires swapped on Thursday. And maybe lowered, and maybe replacing the grandpa brown tint.

Just as a suggestion, I would use a gator back drive belt instead of the stock Toyota one, I never thought it would say this, but in my case, it was much quieter, even though the stock belt was only 10K old. Not to mention, the gator back is $60 bucs less.
