    just leave it... in a car thats not black, it wouldnt catch your attention that bad... but in our cars (black) unless you get it professionally done and toned matched to our black, its going to look like crap.. or at least it will look like it doesnt belong there...

    i dont know how you feel about carbon fiber on black, but at one point in time RRM had a carbon front middle piece, i thought it might look pretty good on black.

    What do you mean you did this? The picture? Well, even if you did, I got that picture in an email from a guy that's selling the piece, in that color, for $170.
