Default Painting Front Lip?

My mugen style front lip just got delivered and it is black plastic. I want to keep it black to match the sideskirts and rear lip so i was wondering if I should just bolt it on or if I should spraypaint it black in order to change the finish so its more similar to the side skirts(less glossy). The last thing I want is for it to look half-assed, so any advice is appreciated... thanks

Just my opinion: When my mugen style lip arrives I am keeping it unpainted, but painting my sides and rear lip to match my factory deep green paint (after swapping a 94/95 rear lip onto my 96). But as your question goes its just a matter of what u want I tought about having it painted but it would be to shiny for me, well unless my accord was black.

Eh...I wouldn't paint it because if it's the same color as the rest of your side skirts, then you'll just be wasting time trying to get it to match the same glossy effect.
