Default should i paint my front lip black?

i have a 98' CWITR and have two matching front lips, one has kinda major scrapes across the front side (very visable). I was thinking of painting the one w/ the scrapes on it flat black. Any suggestions on this?

LOL

Paint it black...if you dont like it, sand it down again...paint in back white. Lips get so dinged up and scratched it needs a fresh coat of paint about every year!

Wear the battle scars proudly.

Unless you have only scars from parking lot mishaps, in which case you need to get out on the track more often.

Battle scars own if you don't care about looks.

l saw a dood with a white 98-01 gsr with type r style doors *maybe he shaved em*
black spoon rims, match painted side skirts.
he also had the type r oem front lip but painted the whole thing black
*probably to match his spoon style mirrors and carbon fiber hood*

but it STILL looked wrong.
