what's goin on everyone
I'm getting an m-tech rear bumper installed soon and i was wondering what I should do with my diffuser?
Should I paint it satin black, matte black, or color-match it. A03 Silver Grey
btw, car is a silver grey pre-lci with acs front lip and 19" mesh wheels. i plan on doing shadowline and black kidney grille later in the future along with black roof. I'll upload pictures later when I can remember my photobucket login id/pw.
let me know what you guys think!

if you are going to aggressively mod your car then paint it matte black.
The black diffuser along with black grille's, black roof, and shadowline looks amazing.
If you are going to do the roof in gloss black then paint the diffuser gloss black, along with gloss black grille's. Whatever black you decide on stick with the theme. Gloss black roof with matte black diffuser and grilles seems kind of silly IMO

I painted mine matt black. Think it gives the bumper a nice shape. But I've changed to chrome grilles and am keeping the chrome window trim - think it matches the wheels....or well, personal taste etc
Had a cute girl in a modded Skyline wave and thumbs up last week. Had waves etc probably 7 times since I did the mods. NONE in the 5.5 years before.....
