Default Color Match or Nah?

I just got my front bumper + Splitter in and am having trouble deciding if I should color match my splitter to the rest of the car, or paint it black like I’ve seen other people do with the same bumper.




Below are a few examples… I havent seen anyone fully colormatch the two so I was curious if you all think it might look good. My car is Lemans Sunset and I have GT Silver WORK T5R 2P’s like the second car below.

I don't think you can go wrong either way. Personal preference, I would say black. Easier to touch up in the future with inevitable rock chips and scrapes. Any plans for side skirts?

I have Garage Mak side skirts and rear bumper en route. I feel like they look equally as aggressive as this front end and (in my opinion) flow pretty well all together.

Just to follow-up even though nobody is going to see this. I ended up painting it the same as the rest of the bumper. I think it turned out well!

I’m going to get bigger tires when these need replacing, this current tire setup is pretty conservative still because I was scared to rub.

Its Vorschlag Design!

I’ve only seen 2 other cars on IG with it and theyre in Japan. I think because no major distributors carry it, nobody really finds it… You also need to find someone willing to ship it since a lot of these people don’t make as much money shipping big body parts.
