What are your thoughts on painted bumperettes?

What is a reasonable price to pay to have them done?

Is it worth the cost?

Pro's / Con's?

I have the factory painted bumperetts on my 03 Carrera.

Here's the advantage.... When someone bumps you(as happened to me a week ago) and they have a rubber bumper, all you have to do is clean the rubber off the paint. However if you have unpainted bumperetts, you will scuff the rubber which can't be buffed out.

Disadvantage, when someone bumps you with a painted or metal bumper or their license plate hits your bumperette, you will have damage that can't be buffed out easily and you will need to either repaint or get new ones then repaint. With the unpainted if you need new bumperetts, they are relativly cheap and easy to install.
