Default paint match or not?

Ok here are pics of my hatch, Im gonna be getting a mugen lip for the front and duckbill for the rear. due to funding and the need to keep the car looking as semi sleeper, both parts are gonna be non carbon fiber. I was thinking to put a fiberglass duckbill from jdmshit on the back? is the quality OK? and an ABS mugen lip on front from the same company?? Ok both parts are a gloss black, should I keep them that way or paint them to match?

if you want the black duckbill
you might want to consider getting a jdm oem piece.
they are basically half duckbill, half stock,
as far as the shape goes.
with a longer flat led on the back.
and they are the same black plastic as the rest of your trim pieces, so you wont need to worry about mismatching black paint, or the paint ever peeling off...

please and I mean please don't ruin your car by putting one of those cheesey looking replica ones that were made for the 99 ek, they just don't flow with the car just stick with a replica mugen lip that was made for your year and also I would save a little cash and get a carbon duck bill it's gona look 10 times better then an abs one.
