IMO body color would look the best, I am not a huge fan of difference colored diffusers unless it's a flat black plastic or CF.

Ok, that's clear. I liked the mat-black option because it's something different, but the majority has decided and it will be in bodycolor.

Bodykit will be ready in 3 days (not 6 months

), now I have to find time to stick it on the car.
