ZL1 Front Fascia Conversion or New Paint Job?

I drive a 2011 SS and I've been debating on whether to do an entire ZL1 front end conversion (roughly $1500) with the splitter included.

Or... use that $1500 and do some paint correction and paint job touch ups on my car. For example, fixing swirl marks, minor dings around the body, etc.

I'd say ZL1 conversion, on a Black car you would be talking repaint every couple of years and a $1500 paint job would probably leave your car looking worse.

2K? For a good job? It cost way more than that around here!
