Hello Guys. Thank you for the comment. Give me some more...here is my info:
I have:
1)OEM M166 wheels original color which is silver?
2) Silver Shadow Trim original come with the car
3) Plan to get RPI Exhaust and do NOT want to paint it black tips, so standard color is silver
4) Silver grills original come with the car
So basically it is mostly silver color....now does it still look good with MATTE BLACK Diffuser?

i would still do the matte black diffuser and de badge the chrome numbers/letters off the back. Buy shadowline trim and matte black grilles from trinity. Shadowline trim and matte black grilles cost under 300 dollars. Do EVERYTHING i just told you...end of story.

Sorry no input on where to find a DIY but if you're going matte black then thumbs up! I've always loved that look and I saw Skeeter's car (AW with matte black diffuser) and it looks awesome. He had an RPi exhaust as well and I think the polished tips offset by the matte black diffuser works really well. Rebadge your car with matte black numbers, get the matte black front grills and you're good to go!
I have Jet black so repainting my diffuser won't really do anything
