Stock M-Sport rear valance vs M Performance rear splitter

It's typically hard to see on installed pictures, since they are both dark, so I took side-by-side comparo for anyone curious.

Thanks for posting. I was hoping the m performance part was closer in color to the stock gray piece since my car is black.

Did you install yourself? If so, how easy was it?

I'm actually going to paint the matte black portion of my CF replica diffuser the same DSM color of the OEM original diffuser. It looks better on AW to me.

I installed it myself, super easy.

Its definitely darker being matte black vs the grey (stock). I've thought about painting part of this the stock valance color as well.
