Default Insurance dilemma

I made 2 claims (bumper and vandalism to paint) to my insurance using a shop that charges cheaper than the insurance gives in their estimates. I know the guy at the shop, and he helped me get even more money out of the insurance. He said I can do whatever I want, I just need to fix what is in the claims.

That basically means I can get a full paintjob (needed). Also, there are $250 extra after fixing the bumper and getting the paintjob.

I can either:
Get a 2 tone paintjob, with the metallic blue in my interior in the top half


OR, Get a body part that is less than $250 and he'll install it and pay me back what I paid for it. I was thinking a wind splitter, its like 250.

If i get something smaller I will only get what i paid for the part (if i get something that is 100, I lost the chance of getting the other 150 worth of parts).
Isn't that the coolest dude you could know??? lol

what would you do?

Get a front lip, paint to match color of car and spend the money on somethin else.

edit......

Since you already have a lip kit, 2 tone it but not blue and black
