Coupe Brabus Diffuser Mod

So....i was thinking while looking at other cars around...the brabus kit for the coupe has an indentation that some other cars have on the lip kit. These indentations can be blacked out making it look like a rear diffuser. I photoshopped a quick picture of what it might look like if I were to put black vinyl on the indent.

Also we can black out the small indentation on the front brabus lip as well.

What do you guys think? Has anyone done this?
Check out the crappy photoshop job...
Yes, or no?

Do it in matte; that would look much better. I have my stock rear end done that way, and like how it looks. I mostly did it because the Eisenmann race was going to eventually melt the entire rear end of the car if I didn't cut out a larger opening and incorporate it somehow into the rest of the rear end.
