Monaco blue body what to do about plastic diffuser?

So what should I do to the plastic and bland diffuser to make it look better on a monaco blue color 1? I haven't seen any good examples for darker color cars with this diffuser.. I looks great painted black on a white 1 but nothing for a monaco 1.

I say leave it the way it is or paint it black. Dark is def the way to go with monaco. Some people have painted the diffuser body color but I dont like the way it looks. I think it makes the car look taller and less sporty.

Yeah, the CF diffuser looks much better. A cheaper option is to buy those exterior trim dressing like http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=233. It'll make the stock matte black diffusor a little darker.
