On the SA bumpers you can remove the strips and weld a thin sheet of steel over it and make it flush.

Leave them off. Leave the bumper moulding black. It gives a good break for the change in direction on the front bumper. attached are pictures of my car with that combination, and I think it's pretty killer.
