To people with CF diffuser

Hi !

just wanna know, how did you paint or keep your cover of the aero bumper (piece number 4 here) ?

- Stock : so a matte dark gray
- CARBON : let it be "carboned" with Carbon Fiber or carbon vinyl
- Painted : like your car's color ?

EDIT : remember, my car is Sparkling Graphit

i've made a photoshop little job, to compare with a quite more contrasted color, like a white or something like that ...

with my sparkling graphit, it will be less "shocking"

do not even think about option 1

I haven't done anything to mine, and it looks okay. Looks more black than dark gray I think.

Don't think I would put on some CF vinyl since that probably wouldn't match the real CF on the diffuser.

that is my actual fear ...

for the moment i must say :
1) let i be like it is
2) Painted car's color

because yes, i didn't see it very well, but it's more black than dark gray
