Default Hood Scoop question/opinions

I just ordered the Xenon hood scoop. It'll come unpainted, so my question is, what color should I paint it? My car is Mineral Grey with black racing stripes/pinstripes. I originally thought I'd paint it black. Now I'm wondering if I should just paint it MG or paint it MG and stripe it.
(Sorry my sig is messed up and that pic is so small, I'm working on getting new ones up and thought I'd might as well wait until after this mod.) Thanks for any input.

Paint it MG and don't stripe it in my opinion. Show the scoop rather than hide it in the stripe!

Obviously I like the black scoop with the black stripe, but it is easier to pull off with the Superstripe. With the dual stripes, I would probably do a MG scoop, with black stripes.....

Good luck with it.

I was thinking of getting a new scoop also and wasthinking of the same thing, i thought it would be easier to paint it white and add the red stripe down the center... i figure less paint so it'll be less expensive.....
