Default anyone have a rear diffuser on a black car?

I've been searching through multiple threads and thinking about getting a myride style rear diffuser. I've noticed a lot of cars that have it leave the bottom middle black and want to see it on a black car. I'm torn between a rear diffuser or oem gfx rear lip.

two totally dif style of rear lips
depends on how agressive your car looks
post some pics we can help u decidde whether to go the grandpa route and do gfx or do the myride
i personaly think there are hardly any ppl here who can pull off the myride and make it look, just a few guys.
u gotta be agressive lookin to do it

if you have a black car, I'd recommend black around the outer edge and dark grey inside

theres a thread thats only pics on obsidian black cars, there is a guy who posted a pic on a black car
id get all black for the stealth look
cause the myride in some ways looks badass yet it looks like u slapped on a diffuser that kinda isnt meant to be there
so all black will blend that issue in better imo

thanks guys i found the pic. After examing it I feel like your car needs an aggressive drop to pull off the diffuser and some nice wheels of course.

I think after everything I have done to my car a diffuser would be sweet. I found one on e bay for about $110 that looks pretty good.

Heres what my car looks like...




And here is what the diffuser looks like that I am looking at getting.
