Question Suggestions on what to do w/ front bumper...?

Ok, I'm getting really sick of looking at the 4 (FOUR?!) license plate holes in my front bumper, even w/ the bumper plugs. Looking for suggestions, should I just throw on a replacement bumper? Maybe go w/ an aftermarket one (and if so, which)? Or maybe wrap the whole car in matte black or gray or something (though I think this look may be getting a little played)?

How about a grey strip up the middle? or Yellow to match your mirrors? If you dont like it the best part is its 100% reversible.

similar to this

I want to keep the look fairly subtle, and the stripes won't cover up the bumper holes, I need something to replace the front bumper with, I'm not really in love w/ any of the aftermarkets like Techart, though. Any other aftermarket suggestions that would look good w/ an otherwise stock bodykit or should I just get another OEM front bumper? Maybe a GT2 RS conversion is in order?

body shop will patch and paint no problem. cheapest solution probably too. even on metallics the airbrush technique good shops are using you wont even have to respray the entire bumper and it will match / blend no problem.

Hadn't even considered that was possible to patch and achieve an OEM look, thanks for the suggestion!
