Color match or 2 tone?

I have the Tourenn Lip Kit coming in the mail. For the front lip which color set up do you think looks better for this kit, all one color or painting the lip to give it a splitter effect? My car is GG in color....so if i went with the 2 tone/splitter look i would choose either, silver, black or a darker grey than the GG color. Any positive input is appreciated.

I think i like the center blacked out the best as well. I wonder if i should do a dull or gloss black for it? I'll be painting the rear lip black in the center as well.
