Opinion on splitter
Planning on a Scott Lowe from splitter for my 05 Sti, personally think they look better "not" colour coded. Black splitter on blue etc...So as my Sti is black I thought I may paint it silver to contrast. Done a quick mock up in PS to see what it'll roughly look like, also note my car has silver graphics so it won't be the only silver thing on the car. Any opinions??

Not good. It's got halfords shopping spree written all over it. Just keep it in the matt black it comes in because it gets chipped and scraped very easily. I have a black 05 WRX and it looks absolutely fine without paint matching.

Keep it black. I've got a scott lowe splitter on the front of my MY03 WRX and it DOES get chipped to buggery. So i wouldnt recommend getting it painted.
If you MUST get it painted, shiny gloss black to match your bodywork, definitely NOT silver.

Ar no. I would keep it black. Black on black, and therefore not as noticeable (ie. bolted on bit) IMO is much better. I'm glad i don't have to paint mine.

So go for it you reckon then 
Consensus is have it black then, fair do's, your all probably right & didn't really want to paint it to then decide black is best...

In issue 36 of EVO magazine (OCT 2001) there is an article on the EVO 7 Extreme. The car is black with silver front splitter, side skirts and rear skirt. It actually looks quite good and different. I personally would have it black but if you like the silver and can live with it then go for it.
