Default paint it or leave it?

So awhile back i posted here asking for advice on how i should paint the bumper caps. I went with the factory color to match all the way around and i really like it. But after seeing an XJ with a silver bottom i fell in love with the look. i really wanna do it now and I wanna know what you guys think, leave it or paint it? This is how she sits now: paint it or leave it?-6vqt7.jpg

this is the look im going for:
