Default Rear GFX, bottom part painted to look like a diffuser

Was wondering if anyone has any pics of a GFX rear with the bottom part where it curves painted black? or any other mods done to the rear GFX to give it a more aggressive/diffuser style look?

I read the title of this thread, and was immediately thinking "Nooooooooo!". Damn if that doesn't look pretty good though. I gotta say I like it. Very different.

Yep, I definitely like it. The car is low, and I believe that this makes it look even lower than it is. Having the "diffuser look" in the center section makes the outer edges look that much lower. Nice work!!!
