100% leave it black, you need a contrast , otherwise it looks very tacky

I would definitely black out the wheels, and get black fender badges. Preferably with orange inserts.

Leave it black, black out the tails, and it will be very, very nice.

I would leave it black. The spoiler on my base Z-51 is black. It does not look out of place on your car at all and it will cost more to repaint it.

Radical suggestion: Paint the back of the car black.

I have the same problem. I found a NOS IOM full width spoiler and a NOS full width Black spoiler.
Not sure which one goes best with my IOM GS vert (tan top).
Bigger question is if I should go for a ZR1 style spoiler. (Same paint question)

Not the exact spoiler....but gives you a sense of color consistency. Your call either way. Enjoy.
