Post them up. But IMO it would not appeal to someone when and if you was to come to sell it? And also can look weird on a clean looking oem car like yours.

Fair play for getting a new bumper but please dont smooth it! Would have been cheaper and easier to find a second hand one. At the end of the day your paying to for it to get rubbed down, modified and sprayed so it just seems criminal doing that to a new bumper imo.
Its your money and your car so its up to you!!lol
Car looks good tho

most second hand ones have weak corner tabs or peeling paint, new one is the best option

I don't car about the piece of plastic, I was thinking off the overall look of your car  , I just think GSi bumpers look 10x better when the swage line is there.
Whatever floats your boat though
