Need your opinion

this is "HighSpeed250"s car. i just wanted to use it as reference.

im sold on the skirts but what do you guys think of the rear bumper with black diffuser? i'm on the fence about it. wondering if i should just paint it all white? the rear bumper w/ black diffuser looks amazing on a dark colored car but i still cant make up my mind about alpine white. :sad0147:

How about you go with the CF diffuser instead.

leave it as it is, it'll go well with your wheels. You have enough contrast to pull it off. If you didn't have the wheels, I would say paint it.

turns out the diffuser is more of a metallic gunmetal finish rather than black. hmm that would match my wheels even more!

yeah i wanted a rear bumper that hangs a bit lower than the OEM bumper. seems squished together towards the rear.
