Frank - Unless you plan on changing the front end as well, to match the rear, I would keep it Ti Silver. If you would consider repainting your splitter black, the doing the rear diffuser black would make sense.

Or you could just do Carbon Fiber!

While either option (IMHO) would look good, C makes a good point in going with Ti Silver.
I'm not repainting my roof nor my front Hartge style splitter.

So for now, I think I will be going with Ti Silver

Thanks Everyone!

I voted for the matte black. I think it will look real nice! Match it if you want subtle, matte black if you want it to stand out.

Frank, I think Titanium Silver would work the best with the overall look of your car since your splitter is already that color and you're not planning on painting your roof.
