Make sure you piant both bumpers the same colour as the rest of the car.. I don't like it when they're black, it doesn't match..
But moulding the bumper is kinda a bad idea... What if you break a headlight or something? It seems kinda like a really bad idea later on down the road.

def paint it all white, you'll like it better than having your bumper black, or just one black.

its only my rear bumper that i'm moulding, fronts stayin how it is for the headlight reason :) but i figured i'm never gonna hafta take it off (the rear) and if I get into an accident where i get hit in the back, it'll just crack and fall off prolly lol

NO.
I think it looks brutal when cars have painted black hoods to mimic a real CF one.

dont do that either, itd be harder for the paint guys to cover up your black hood, then just having the primer base, they would have to resand and reprimer ther whole car.
