Default Is it normal to vinyl wrap splitters the same as your car wrap?

I'm planning on wrapping my car and also want to pick up some front/side splitters and possibly a rear diffuser. This will be my first time modding my car so I'm not sure what the usual protocol is when wrapping a car with splitters. Is it normal to wrap the splitters with the same wrap as the car? Or should I just leave the splitters as is in the color I order?

I'm planning on doing a Satin Black wrap on my car and want to order the Artisan Spirits splitter kit.

There isn't a "normal". It's up to the look you want. Some go with the whole kit all paint matched to the car. Others go with having their kit black or carbon fiber to give accent to the car. Imo if I had a carbon piece I wouldn't paint or wrap it though as I like the look of it. So wether you want contrast or not is up to you.

It depends on your taste, me personally, if I had a lip kit:
1) if it was carbon, don't wrap it
2) if you want people to know you have a lip, leave the normal color so it can contrast on your vehicle
3) if you want everything paint matching (which also works on many cars), wrap the lip too.. this third option, I feel like the only people who will appreciate your lip are other 3IS owners or car enthusiasts.
