Yes I am reffering to the bottom of the kit and the rear exhaust shroud/diffusser(all one piece) the body shop guy is telling me black too. It that lip that is kinda continuous along that bottom edge.

More opinions please, thanks!

From what I understand the gunmetallic color trim of the authentic m-speed kit, is only slightly darker than the TiGray color. I'd go gloss black.

<chanting> charcoal, charcoal, charcoal D I'm thinking black would be too drastic and I personally like the lips to be different than the kit color. The more I think about it, I don't think it would have that much of an effect on your graphics, meaning conflict the color. It'll look good.
