Painted. FYI, the other small hole is for my tow hook and has a cover which isn’t pictured.

I painted the splitters for a couple reasons (rather than leaving them stock).

1.) I wanted my car to look like it was sitting lower  
2.) I wanted to mold the splitters into the bumper  
3.) I wanted something slightly ‘different’ from just bolt-on-stock  
4.) because i can.
