I'm getting my m-tech kit, splitter, and rear diffuser from EuroRev. They will be painting all of the pieces Platinum Metallic Gray, to include the splitter and rear diffuser. I was going to go for a carbon fiber splitter and rear diffuser, but we couldn't find one that fit nicely. With that, I prefer the diffuser to have a little character. Please take a look at John's diffuser picture. This will be the diffuser that I will be going with. If the diffuser was painted body color first, and then tinted a little darker, either with a darker tinted clear coat, or a paint shade darker, do you think it would look good?

If you do that it will likely look like a bad paint match, either go with the body color or a real contrast like charcoal or black..........peronally I like the understated look of the body color ..........Good luck
