opinions, white or black diffuser?

I have a white car. So far I have the black grills, black mirror covers on order, black wheels and tint.

Dropping the car off on tomorrow morning to have some work done while on vacation. Getting the roof painted gloss black and the tail lights and reflectors all tinted. Also dropping off my wifes Z4 tail lights and reflectors. She has had the car 4 and a half years now and finally wanted some mods.

Was going to stay with unpainted on the M sport diffuser, but may as well get it painted too.

White or Black? I think both colors will look great and am trying to decide.

Mine is white. I like how it looks....but maybe I would've gone black if given the choice again. As you can see, it's a hard choice.

Like a Rolling Stone, I'd "Paint it Black".

I'm leaning white, because I think it shows more detail.

DO you have a pic of your white diffuser? Looked through your thread and didn't see one.

With my AWhite, I actually prefer the black look. I also have a black top, mirrors, grill and rear spoiler on boot. The black below adds more to the contrasting combo from front to rear. But that's me. It's the tuxedo look...but its all a matter of preference. Body color I guess would be fine as well. I didn't have to spend any more to get the combined look I like. Bests on your choice though.

For what an opinion is worth at this stage I'd go black. All white looks bottom heavy to me.

You can always have it wrapped if you don't like the look (white or black). May be cheaper than painting.

Wrapping is cheaper, but I like paint. I trust my body guy, I've had a show car custom wide body C6 10k job and a repaint of my 86 300zx plus a ton of other custom work done here, so I'll let them decide this time
