Rear Valance poll

I just got this rear valance for my 924s and i'm trying to find out what color to paint it. I'm stuck with undercoat black or gloss white, the reason I chpse undercoat black is because I have a black line at the bottom of the car and it uncoating black.
So im making a poll tell me what u guys think.

this is supposed to be the white just to get an idea of it.

one of my friends bought it for his 944 thinking it was for a 944 and when he got it, the sides were too small and aparantly it was for a 924. I dont know where he got it though. sorry.

Just to help even out score WHITE. Why put it on just to paint it black.

I think the white looks a lot better and draws attention away from the part, which would be my goal for a clean look. But that's a dirty area of the car and it's going to be hard to keep it clean so for that reason you might want to do black.

White makes it look like a fixer-upper. Black is clean and defined, does not take attention away from the beauty of the car. The last thing I would want people to remember of my Porsche would be a sticky-on looking part that could have been a K-Mart special that somebody picked up the day before Christmas.

Keep our rep up!!!! Black all the way.

WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My reasoning is this.... the part is now a body panel of the car. If it was a trim piece, it should be black to match the rest of the trim. But because it is a true fiberglass body panel then it should match the rest of the body panels.... white.

I would do white...to me the black makes it look almost invisible and doesn't really accomplish anything?
