The ground effects package only comes in one color - CGM. The diffuser is the part on the rear of the car that replaces the stock rear and exhaust exit. This thread has some pictures of the diffuser and the ground effects -> http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9250

Note that these pictures are from the black SEMA car and the ground effects were painted to match the car. If you order CGM then you should be ok. Else, you will need to have them painted to match the car. Hope this answers your questions.

Actually, the GFX aren't Cyber Gray. The official name of the color they come is is Dark Argent. So it may differ slightly.

Thanks for the clarification on the color. I am guessing that it would be close to a CGM car though. What do you think?

Actually, it's Dark Argent Metallic. And, I'd sure love to see an up close and personal of that color paint.

Are we sure that Dark Argent Metallic isn't just a codename for sparkly satin gray molded plastic? It sure doesn't have the reflection of a painted surface.

^Agreed. I think it should be painted to match the rest of the car. You order cyber gray, you get cyber gray ground effects. You want yellow? You get yellow FXS.

One of the main reasons I'm not getting the gound effects is that I would then have 3 different shades of gray on my car. That would begin to get overbearing and just look bad. The only way to fix that would be to paint those FXS. I really don't wanna drop another 800 just for paint on them.

Guess I'm in the minority but I like that tu-tone look.

+1. Seems to me it wouldn't be that big of a deal to add the ground effects before the paint and just have it match. I believe I would have ordered them if they were color matched.
