Wow, so I set you all up with a huge teaser! I finally got fed up with the stock bumper in the rear. Ordered this part from Trinity but I want to know whether or not I should paint the diffuser a different color than the car's Jet Black paint? Here is the poll. Whatever wins is what I'll do.

Matte grey (this is gloss but close enough):



Matte black:



Jet black:

I voted matte black, but not thinking jet black to match the car - anything else may just look out of place there... just my opinion.

I just can't think of anything to make it contrast besides matte black. Even then, it won't really be noticable.

It will be noticeable enough. There will be a contrast between the matte black of the diffuser and the jet black of the bumper. I don't think matte grey will work, since there's nothing else grey anywhere on your car it will looks out of place.

Another option would be to just get it CF wrapped
