Default Paint diffuser or keep black?

Should I paint the sides of the diffuser my car color and keep the middle black OR should I keep the whole thing black? I have a white IS. Also glossy or matte? What do you think is a better look? I've seen pics of both but can't decide....

I'm assuming your talking about the Myride diffuser? I pondered the same thing. I went with all glossy black. I should have it back from the shop Tuesday and will upload some pics. My car is SFP.

Definitely paint the diffuser white but leave part of it black.

if it is all black it is very obvious that you just stuck some bulky plastic on the @ss of your car.

If you paint, as in the pic below, it gives it a much cleaner look. But I also think it needs to be paired with a wald spoiler. I think either on their own looks a bit tacky but together they work well.

Paint the sides and gloss black in the center. Otherwise it'll look cheap.
