Jay why dont you get the M5 rear. It would look better IMO.
heres 61Mac11's 550i (sweet car)

Hey where's 61Mac11? I haven't seen him for a while.

SoCalM5Mang, I think matte black finish will look great if you have other parts painted matte finish.
If you're thinking of adding a front splitter in matte black, that would be a nice combo with ur rear diffuser. Just my 2 cents.

I also am considering doing quad exhausts and a nicer rear diffuser. I also have space gray. What about a flat charcoal? I think it would look better than black. It would be the only item of that color on the car (unlike flat black to match the window trim). I think the factory diffuser stands out and looks tacked on.
