Color Suggestions

I'm going to be getting a MazdaSpeed replica rear diffuser and side skirts. My question here is, should I paint the entire rear diffuser WB (color of my car) or have it painted like the authentic MazdaSpeed would be? Same question with the side skirts. Or do you have any other suggestions for colors??

Thanks!

I would paint it like the MS. Try to use the late model gun metal from Toyota/Lexus/Scion it's a close match. Also, Gun metal grey from early 90's Nissan is close as well. GL finding the original Gun metallic paint for the MS, maybe they sell it somewhere, but I never found the paint code.

I'll say paint it like the color of your car.

I say contrast it with the gunmetal grey, there's too much blue otherwise.

Are there any pics of one with it all painted the body color? I think it'll make the bumper look too big, but I'd like to see it just in case
