TBG,when it came to blacking the grill on my chromie i took this in mind first -
I have dechrome fitted arounds the windows and thought,if i black the kidney it means that everything above the bumperline/sides strips will be dechrome leaving an even chrome `stripe` around the waistline of the car!
I think it works well personally and have had many comments on it looking neat.

What im trying to say is,do a Black kidney but also dechrome around the windows winkeye

Heres a pic of mine to see what i mean,not the best but should give you an idea.

deffo no boot spoiler, loose the eyebrows and kidney black and then get the original rear lights back on and bin the mtech stickers/badges

and i also agree the tech 2 rear does not suit with the tech 1 front and side pods
