Save your money, car looks good. Or, use the money on a better camera.

I would do both... Gloss black (or gunmetal grey) Manta with Satin Black insert...

Regardless... the insert looks stupid by itself where as the Manta alone can hold it's own... SO, if not both then I vote Manta... But I like both:
