I think the filler piece looks sweet with the black accents and black wheels. I was going to do it on my lly with chrome wheels but never got around to it.

I think they look better with the filler piece left in place. When the bumper is raised the body lines don't quite match up (from the side view), the lower bumper line is too high in the front.

Color match the filler. Should have came from the factory that way. Some of the pictures of my LBZ look like a body lift gone wrong.
