IP Sport Front w/ Black Lip?

Hey guys, I was interested in buying a lip for my 06 sport bumper and wondered if it would look okay in black. I'm looking at the data style sport lip. Since my car's got a black/white theme going, it might match, but I don't know...
If anyone's done this, please give me your thoughts on how it looked.
Here are some pics of my car lol. Sorry for the crap quality!
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

You want the appearance of your front end to look low, by painting the lip black you'll look like a 4X4. Black/White is a good theme but can be over done, be careful!

Haha, thanks for the advice guys. I was thinking the same thing... Anyways, anyone know the average price of a decent paint job for an ip lip? Lastly, what do you guys think about my theme/car so far? XD

LOl thanks Gary... I just think that if he has a design concept in his head that he thinks looks good why should we be the ones to tell him no... I knew what I wanted out of my car before i even test drove it... Full nismo kit except i ended up not getting the rear addons. If he has an idea that isn't mainstream to this forums usual I say go for it. Worst comes to worst he paints the lip and diffuser IP. But no harm, just a little money for the experiment.

BTW I am usually all against mismatching colors on such a nice car.. Ofcourse hondas can get away with it.

I'd hardly call it a theme, considering the only thing you've done is get your roof black. Your rims don't exactly fulfill your theme, unless chrome is part of your theme (and according to your grill and headlights, it is xd)

Hmm, couldn't tell the grill was black (obviously). But yeah, I don't think a black lip will look good unless you have like, good custom **** to compliment it like skirts n stuff.
