Default paint color opinons

Some background:
I bought a FK rear diffuser for my car (sorry no pics of my own), the car is light silver metallic, or whatever that silver is for 2000. At the same time, I bought a pint of paint to match it to the car. When I was mocking up the diffuser to attach it to the car, I noticed the gray primer, (sorta like aviator gray) looks really good. I decided to hold off on painting it, and drive with it only primed for a while just to see what people think of the diffuser. Its a huge aesthetic improvement on the rear of the car to those who know what the car looks like stock, but to those who don't know the car, they DIDNT EVEN NOTICE that it was there. Not that it wasn't painted, they didn't even realize there was something aftermarket on the car. I like that. Its subtle.

So, my question is, paint it silver, paint it gray, or is there another color you think would look good? I guess if I don't go with the body color, I'd end up painting any other future body kit stuff to match, but I don't know how I'd work that when I got to the front of the car. Alot of the body kits don't have a definitive line I would feel comfortable painting to, and still have it look good, unless maybe it was a splitter or something.

*edit heres another diffuser, similar (sorta) on a car. and another interesting note, this diffuser $125. MY diffuser $25, well, plus shipping.<ul><li><a href="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b373/darottie/FKvalance1.jpg">FK diffuser</a></li></ul>

I would paint it the same color or darker.
