help on my color theme

I picked up an 03' g35 coupe in july and have been trying to figure out a color scheme.

I really like the lines of the G so wanna keep the stock look as close as possible while giving it some individuality.

I just got my front lip spoiler in the mail and placed it on but not bolted just to get a look at it.
Anyways need an opinion based on these photos should i color match the front lip spoiler or leave it black and just clearcoat it.

(made it easyer here is a slideshow of diffrent angles)

Color match the spoiler, by doing so it will appear your coupe is lower/longer....

I dont want a super stiff ride so may just go with the springs. they are cheaper and not as stiff, also i dont think ill really be useing many of the features that coilovers have to offer i drive fast but dont really race on regular basis.

Color match the front spoiler as many have said before and remove the side bumper guards as well. It will give your G a more clean look.

Definitely get it painted, I was in the same situation you were in a while back when I bought my lip. It looks tacky imo if you just leave it black; in the end I just forked over the 150 to have it painted lol, looks so much better now!

Im really interested in your sideskirts what type are they?

when I was looking for a good flow down the side from the lip, the closest set I could find didnt really make me happy but they were better than stock,

but yours are nice.
