Default photoshopped: lower rear bumper usb f sport

So i think i am going to change the color of the lower rubberized part of the rear bumper. i was thinking of doing a silver or gunmetal plasti-dip solution. I really like how it contrasts on white cars so i wanted to the same effect. Lemme know any thoughts.

Yeah I am thinking gunmetal like the f-sport wheels but I do want it to show, so if thats too dark against the blue I may go more silver. I haven't seen any example of anyone changing the color of that part but welcome any contributions. The picture above is not my car just an image I found and photoshopped.

I am not a fan of the faux rubber diffusers floating around. I think it could be made a lil better both quality and look wise but thats just my opinion. I feel the same for all non-oem sides skirts, I can not understand why no one has just made replica gfx sides or even exaggerated ones so they do stick out more. I am a fan of the subtle, I wish there were just a precut vinyl solution to do whatever color I wanted but I think plasti-dip should do the trick. I had the same idea once for the sides but its not as elegant, i just wish someone would make metallic add ons like every lexus in previous generation minus the ISX50s
