you would be best getting the main part of the rear in red and the lower cut out part done in gloss or matte black.

IMO it looks better with the lower cut out part in gloss black than matte black or plastic texture. And also the front lower splitter painted in gloss black. Even all the front grills painted gloss black look great. :laugh:
