Default Tom's Rear - Color?

I have a 212 Obsidian, and was looking at getting the Tom's rear, the 09-10 rear lip as it looks way more aggressive than the older 06-08 one. It looks good two colors, with the middle diffuser/fin part painted black on a light colored car, but on a black car, just blends in being black on black. Was looking for people's opinions on it, and what color they would have the middle section painted. I was thinking that silver or SGM looked cool and the lighter color would make make the lines on the rear bumper stand out. The first picture is of the older style, and the last two are the newer style.

Can someone possibly photoshop this, I know it's asking for a lot, but a black/obsidian 2is with the Tom's 06-08 and 09-10 with middle section painted SGM. Also, does anyone know if this rear kit will work with other exhausts like F-Sport or Tanabe, because I'm leaning more towards getting these two over a quad exhaust.

I like the older one, much cleaner look. The new one looks way too tacky, and all those cracks and crevices stands out a lot.

I'm really feeling the new one. SGM center would be pretty cool, but have you thought about a matte/flat/satin black center?

edit : is that a matte black above?

What is the difference between matte, flat, and satin? Matte and flat look pretty similar, but not sure about looks of satin in person, and pictures don't really do these colors justice.

Isn't flat means non-metallic finish, just paint? and matte has no shine, looks a bit like plastic? don't know about satin.

Matte would look good. Looking at genki looks to be the Matte black, which the more I look at, I'm digging over the new style. Nice and sporty, yet subtle and not overly aggressive haha.
