Did I just F up or create something great

So my bumper surrounds were looking rough so I grabbed some trim paint but it wasn't black. I had one side done so I just finished it. Not sure about it though opinions please.

Its cool looking but It looks like someone just did a poor color match. I bet on a non-schwarz colored car it would be awesome.

Ive owned a black jetta, and the issue was you have no play w/ side mouldings/bumper tops. Its black eithor way. Its not bad, but its not great alone. See if you could do the side trim, if its not consistant people will think its a bad mismatch/faded
