Definitely go with a matte black if you decide on black. I vote black because it provides contrast to the white, basically makes it stand out more. White would make it look like it's just part of the bumper. It's hard to describe but I DO have a method to my madness

I never was a fan of painted-to-match chins, they just don't look right to me.

Should I aim for the color that the chin spoiler should have come?

The wheels are mostly black with a little machined silver. I'm thinking that I should do matte black

It looks like you have the same chin spoiler I purchased from AM. It is a light primer gray, correct?

I would say go black, since your side rockers are black. If your side rockers were painted white, I would say go white.

I used gloss black auto spray paint from Advanced Autos. The gloss matches my side vinyl rockers.

Feel free to check out my pics in my garage.

FYI, Be careful parking around sidewalks and parking blocks. ;-)

Did you paint your rockers gloss back? Also I'm having a family friend paint the chin spoiler. Should I save myself the money and do spray paint? Or will it come out real cheap looking?
