Hey all,

Have a serious dilemma here. recently gathered all m performance exterior trims (front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser) and have been going back and forth with paint matching or leaving it matte black.

I currently have the rear diffuser on and left it matte, which i think looks pretty sharp against the black paint. However, if i were to paint match the other pieces, i think it would look out of place being the only matte black on the car.

Any suggestions? Would love to see examples especially on a black F30. Thanks all

Leave them all matte black. It will contrast a bit against the metallic black paint.

Yeah, thinking of going that route. Just wanted to see if paint matching would look better. Once the pieces are on, they're not coming off!

I vote matte black as well

Yes, I'd go with matte black. As your is black metallic, it needs some contrast to lift up the outline. It also saves money and time not to do paint-matching.
Also, as it often happens to me: after a few years with the added-on exterior trims, I tend to remove them to enjoy the car's clean-looks. This possibility is another reason against paint-matching.
