![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So I got my mugen kit yesterday and was trying to come up with some ideas for the rear diffuser section of the rear lip. The diffuser is actually detachable.
By default the diffuser is painted body color. However I was thinking of having it painted black/dark gunmetal color.
Which option do you prefer ?

It might look nice if you do half and half. keep the outside the body color and paint the recessed part black. If there is not a nice transition point then this would not work. Just a thought.

I have the stock Acura underbody kit on my back. Diffuser is black there as well. I agree with others. It gives it a tougher look. Not something your mother would drive. Surprised it doesn't come black out of the box

I like the white look. Too many cars today have blacked-out lower spoilers. Keeping it body color enhances the ground-effects look.
By the way, Togue, what technique did you use to position the LEGEND lettering on your ride?

I actually am going to paint it with a color called 'phantom grey' . It's in between gunmetal and black. It's a metallic.
Rob144, that's not my car. It's a friend of mines. He lives in Japan and has a Legend.

I painted the piece yesterday. Came out really nice. The color is like the lip on the TL a-spec rear center
Now the question is should I clear coat it to give the phantom grey a shinny look or leave it with the satin finish ?.
