hi guys i finally bought the missing diffuser from Garry (who was a pleasure to deal with btw) that i never received from detto and im finally ready to put on my rear mtech bumper. the diffuser came in like a semi gloss gray finish. I have been searching through the pic gallery and havent seen any pics of the diffuser upainted on steel gray.
if anyone can direct me to a link or post some pics of this setup either with a gray or black diffuser on a steel gray car i would really appreciate it. i personally really like the look of it unpainted in like a matte black finish on a white car but not exactly sure if it will look good on a silver gray car.
basically im trying to see whether i should install it in the semi glossy gray finish, paint it matte black or just get it painted body color.
thanks in advance guys

Even if you decide you like the colour of the primed surface I would recommend painting it in that colour. Primer is not designed to withstand the elements that bumper is going to be subjected to in usage.

Not sure if this is silver gray, but this might give you some ideas. I know it's not matte black, but you get the picture,

What color, matte black?
-painted AW
-unpainted
-matte black (my fav so far)
IMO, contrast is KEY.
