Default Dark Gray vs Satin Black paint for Front Lip

Haven't seen one in person but I have seen a couple pictures of white Zs with the nismo v3 kits where bottom line on the front/side/back looks more like a dark gray rather than black. Not sure, might be the way the picture makes it look.
Anyway, I have a white Z and was thinking of doing a veilside v1 lip in a dark gray was just curious on what others think or if anyone has theirs that way.
I think the side skirts would follow with the same color of the front lip, whichever I decide.
Might be hard to tell but tried a little photoshop (hope owners of the cars dont mind) of what I was talking about.
I know its my car and do what I want, but thought I'd make it a poll anyway.
More so curious if anyone has good pictures of something similar.

Dark Gray



BLACK



current wheels are Matte Black w/ white edge, but I am sure this wont be the only set or only color I will have in future.

Black. Grey would go good if you had gunmetal wheels.

^two different silver Zs used for pic one and two.
googled veilside v1 lip and they popped up under images.
the one with the wheels showing are really bronze wheels, changed it to black to get an idea with the overall look.

thanks to everyone for the votes and input thus far.
