Either go with black and white theme or full white. I like the look of the spoiler black if you had black wheels.

Awesome front lip and keep the black and black rims would be sweet as would painting the bottom of the rear bumper black while you are at it, kind of like this

Looks cool....think the rear black would look great....keep plenty of touch-up for the ant marks you butcher while driving

I saw that on your car before looks sweet, but I dont want to paint any of my factory parts as that devalues the car quicker. All my mods are bolt on so makes it easy to return to stock.

I would leave the chin spoiler black. It will be easier to touch up, and also gives it a more race-prepped look to it all. That's just my humble opinion, though.
