In other words smooth or semi-smooth 
Most people go for semi, the thing with fully smoothed is you then need somewhere else to put the plate.

Then the rear bumper looks silly unless you remove the plate light recess from the top of the bumper with fully smooth!
I much prefer semi-smooth

Afraid its not, its more the attention to detail, if your going to remove the plate recess, you should remove everything that goes with the plate!
Why have a random buldge on the top of the bumper when there is no need for it!
Seems a bit half arsed to me thats all!

Looking at your rear end its the first thing I notice, that and a plate stuck on one side!
Prefer how b3nn089 has done his, extra effort has worked very well!
