I just got a Nismo rear diffuser,what color to paint?

i know this question might be silly, since i got a OB coupe I want to make it look more noticable , i was thinking to get the CF one, but couldn't wait for another 8 weeks, any suggestions?

color match it. if you want it to stand it, you might be able to pull off a matte black.

I'd do it in Red but then you need some other things to offset that diffuser like a set of TE37's

I think satin-black would be a great option. I did it on my IP, but I think the slight difference in color and finish would be just enough to set it off on your BO. And, to be honest, I really think that satin-black is the only way to go. It matches the other plastic trim/weatherstrip/etc. and gives it a very OEM look. Now, I also did it to slim the plump rump down some. While it will have a similar effect on BO, just not as noticeable, you could also get away with it being color-matched a lot better than an IP can.

If you want it set-off a bit, I think satin-black is probably your best option.

kinda hard to get it to stand out unless you had the cf. i guess your only other options would be the ones mentioned already: matte or satin black. i personally would just color match it
