Default personal opinions requested - paint the front spoiler on black d2 or not?

so i have the new front spoiler, and am set to re-paint the front bumper tomorrow night...the question is, what is YOUR opinion on painting the front spoiler metallic black lik the rest of the car, or leave it satin black stock.

i have searched for images of them both ways, and can only find the stock look.

i look forward to your responses...and please, no fighting ;~) - either way, i shant be putting led lights under the running boards and dingle ***** around the interior windows.

IF you can get away without having a front tag?

I've got a new one too (black). not installed and
the cops have yet to complain ;>)
for the whole time the car has been in TEXAS (11 years).

SPOILER METALLIC BLACK, or leave it stock satin black?

"...to be, or not to be..."

gunna clean up, and go buy some beer, and start shooting within the next hour...

For all it's worth, the photo is a prefacelift pretend S8, but might give you a general idea >>>

that does help, thank you...perhaps it's time to go get beer and think about it...

the distinct advantage to shooting them both, is that i can pre-assemple the spoiler to the bumper, and not be concerned with scratching the new paint when affixing the un-sprayed spoiler...

...and the look isn't bad...i'm almost thinking the facelift grille in the spoiler would look better with metallic paint around it...
