Both look good especially on mineral grey but I can't make up my mind. Current lip in the pic is being replaced.

What would you choose?

IMO, on a dark colored car it makes almost no difference, just go with the cheapest route.

With the upper splitters I like it paint matched. Without I like it gloss black.

Black wheels, black grills. My vote goes to gloss black.

Agreed although on a darker car it's less visible.

Hope the paint doesn't crack when you scrape or hit something.

Honestly it looks great, but scraping as often as I do, it was the reason I didn't go CF or paint.

for what its worth, If you are running a CF diffuser, I would of chose mineral grey... it's a balance between the front and rear CF.
