I like the black, it makes it stand out even more. I think it will look nice with your rims too.

What is your side scoop? It looks nice.

I went with black. Goes good with the rims, window louvers, and uncovered part of the side mirrors.

your photos are hard to make a judgement, but the black scoop will go with the rims.

I vote black, nice contrast over the vehicle. If it were only one piece (just the hood scoop or just the spoiler) I would go body color.
