JDM IX goodness at last! choices...

Finally got my JDM IX rear bumper in from gruppe-S ( well, not finally got it from them, got it in about 3 weeks since I orderred it, so not to bad) so here are a couple of pictures for you guys( before install)-

and 2

I know it's yellow, but since there is no GG, didn't matter what came, I have to repaint anyways.

MY question is this, those of you with the JDM rears know the center section is a grey color not unlike the GG on our USDM cars, now I submit this question:
Should I...
a) leave it the grey and it'll almost color match
b) have it painted black

What do you guys think?

Sucks that the Evo 9 bumpers don't come in Graphite Grey. How much does it cost to get it painted?

def leave it eison grey. VERY JDM! I believe one if the earlier evos came in that color. the 05 MR's wing and vg is that color. i would save the money and paint the sides of your wing eison too. PM me if you need a paint code for it cause the 05's have 2 paint codes one for gg and 1 for eison grey.

He's not questioning what color to paint the bumper, only the 'diffuser' section.

JDM is hot...

I would prolly paint the diffuser part a silverish grey...like a few shades lighter than the grey...but thats my opinion

ROFL@ME thanks for clearing that up for me. the few that I've seen looked like they were carbon fiber. I thought that combination was nice.

I painted mine black... and it looks pretty good IMO.

Kinda sucks that we have to pay extra to have it painted GG

Heres the pic with my other awd.
