Matte Black diffuser?

Has anyone painted their diffuser matte black? I have an Alpine white and am thinking about painting all my accents matte black (wheels, diffuser, grille, badge, spoiler) what do you guys think. Anyone done the same thing?

isn't the diffuser already matte black, or matte dark at least. An interesting spin on the CF look accessories. I like the color contrast of the CF parts on AW, but I don't like the look of CF in general. I'd be interested in seeing it, but not sure about the matte finish on mirrors, spoiler, and badge...may just look unfinished.

Matte black diffusers and carbon fiber accents look mighty, mighty good on an alpine white 135. You won't regret it. Or... why not throw caution to the wind and add a matte black hood and some stripes?!

I think it would look better in gloss black to match the shadowline trim and grille.

Yep, that's me - but Dallas, not Atlanta. The darned thing really does look sharp up close. But I gotta say, the test drive sealed the deal more than the paint job.
