I think the grey is fine. It adds a little contrast. If you don't like it, then paint it.

I think he means the entire car...not just the kit.

They purposely did it in a different color. It tones down the mass in the back especially on the lighter colors. If it was painted the same color, the bumper would look too big. I think the old Toyota Celica was like that.
I have the WDP and if you take a look at other makes in white, they all have the grey/black section in the center. That's IMPO.
