Default Opinions of a new look?

So, someone decided to put a nice couple scratches on the front upper trim piece that goes over the bumper on my truck. Looks like the took the corner too tight in the garage and clipped it with their white mirror. Their white paint came off just fine, but I'm left with 3 or 4 small scratches that go all the way down to the plastic. I can either touch it up, take the piece off and have it repainted, or try for a new look. Since the plasti-dip stuff has seemed so popular and easy to use, I'm thinking about doing this (see image attachement).

What do you all think? Has anyone seen this done before? Figure it'd be work a try, especially since it's reversible... Oh, and this is just some quick MS Paint work with a couple stock photos from Ford's website. I'm no photochop pro or anything.

I like it. It would look good with a black hood strip too that meets the edges of the grill.

I think it would look great. It would look even better with a wide Black strip down the middle of the hood.

Not too sure about the black stripe on the hood... just because of all the different lines and levels to the "power dome." I was looking at it last night and just couldn't see it. The Raptor hood would obviously make that a WIN!

Try it out, plasti dip peels right off if you don't like it. Don't need to scuff it up to lay down the dip.
