F80_M3llow · 03-20-2012, 09:38 PM

Hey guys I just got my pre-lci mtech rear from jgmods. I wanted to know if you guys paint the diffuser and that black top peace or do you leave it non painted. Thanks

pic of the diffuser, does it have a different finish to that of the OEM diffuser....

either way, if you don't like the look of it unpainted, then paint it...

i think most people that like to leave it as is, are those with a black car as it gives it a nice contrast, considering am guessing you car is a lighter color it would look great painted black, since you'll still get that nice contrast

he's right.

i painted the diffuser, as well the small part too, in matte balck (because i wanted to).

but you can just paint the bumper only, not the diffuser and not the small part too

I might go with a semi gloss black so its not to flashy. Thanks for the input guys.
