u think it would look better on black if the bottom part of the rear bumper (diffuser?) wasnt painted a shiny black but like a mattle black or left like a black plastic color? similar to how the MTech II for the E46 looks

Yeah, I'd like some better pics. I can't tell if the rear is matte center or full painted. The front lip looks a lot smaller too. The OEM GFX and Tom's kit are the only ones I'd use. The front on the Tom's kit appears to be lower than the OEM GFX but the OEM sticks out further. Now since I'm concerned about the roll center I plan on leaving my sport suspension alone and it 0.5" lower on front and I'm wondering how much clearance I'd have with the Tom's front lip. The rear looks too subtle on the Tom's kit so I might go with the OEM rear GFX instead. The sides on the Tom's look good but it sticks outwards on the end of where it meets the quarter panel. Starting to wonder if I should've ordered a silver car instead.

I just ordered this kit and have Tanabe exhausts. Anyone know if that will be a tight fit on the back?

i was going to get the rear because it looked so good on white cars but I guess it's a different story with our black cars... you guys think it would look good with the bottom piece painted another color like dark gray?
