    Has anyone painted the gray plastic under their bumper to the color of their car? If so would you be so kind and post a picture?

    What's the point if you can't normally see it?

    No, really, I can't see it standing. Maybe it's just a problem for short people :p Or maybe the OP meant the tabs that are in front of the wheels and not the entire gray plastic.

    Another advantage to having black, I get color-coded side view mirror stalks, rear spoiler and rubber strips on roof :D

    One reason why I got a black smart - to cover up all the black plastics (front, side and rear skirts, handles, fuel door cap). MB was smart enough to make the colour-keyed for 2011.

    You're talking about the skid plate/spoiler, right? I haven't seen anyone color keyed it. You'd be the first if you do it. However, most people have scrapped that part and it'll look worse scrapped if it's painted, especially white.
