Why not get a black wrap for it. If you don't like it, peel it off.

That looks great. All it needs now is some VHT "Nite Shades" tinting on those tail lights to complete the look.

IMO one of the great design features of the C5 is the 'deep' rear end. Painting the lower panel gives the effect of 'narrowing' this panel. I vote to keep it 'stock'. It looks great just as it is.
