Paint Job Opinions

I have a GT500 rear fascia which I bought from one of the members on here and I am going to be droping it off for paint very soon. I am still unsure if I want to leave the middle diffuser and sides flat black (GT500 style), or if I want to have the sides painted and just leave the center diffuser flat black (GT/CS style). Any opinions? Pics of my car are in the link in my sig for a reference of what my car looks like now.

I would leave the sides painted with the diffuser area flat black.
It would go better with your painted rockers and front lip IMHO.

You have a V6 with GT front facia. I had a difficult time seeing if your side rocker mouldings beneath your doors are flat black or Alloy?????
If they are flat black then paint your rear facia GT500 style (with the bottom black too) that way when you look at the car from the side it will be more balanced. Obviously if the rockers are painted alloy then go with the GT/CS style paint.

The side rockers on my car are the stock flat black ones, however when I had the cdc classic chin spoiler installed I had it painted to match. So no matter how I paint the rear bumper it wont be the same matching color as both the chin spoiler and rocker panels, which is why im unsure of how to paint it.

I say do one of the following

Keep the GT500 look and paint the CDC black

or

Go GT/CS, paint the center of the CDC black, and get GT rockers

I didnt like the CDC when it was flat black, which is why it is painted now. I think Im going to paint the bumper GT/CS style and then save up for a set of saleen side skirts to complete the look.
