Get some rear flares and a Wing in Black or paint them silver if you are not going to complete the car.

i got the rear flares already, but came with body color titanuim gray, thats why i'm asking some opinion so if ever i go titanium i won't need to paint rear flares no more, but i kinda like the 2 tone. i might just get a black spoiler lip, what you guys think?

thats what I thought too lol

I vote paint it... all for the clean look. Also, get some mud guards to help even out the lip.
