Thanks for the Input. I really want to get calipers done but I think I'm going to put it on the back burner. I'm so happy with the way the car looks right now I think Im going to just keep it how it is. Currently I'm waiting for BMS dual intake cone then going with some DP and I should be happy.

Well I think just about everyone will agree that OEM diffuser is very lame, and I will be damed to pay 1,200 for a CF replacement. The OEM gray diffuser completely ruins the rear end of this car it was my only real gripe. The pictures do not give it justice it looks amazing in person. Yet again this isnt for everyone some will love it some will hate it.

$80 for ordering BSM $90 for ordering Red to color match the interior. $100 for the labor to fade the 2 colors with a clear coat finish. Currently Looking to get the taillights smoked but the only place in my area that does it correctly is charging $450 just for the rear. Outrageous price IMO I will pass

It all depends on how the light hits it. It kinda throws you off because its glossy and of course boston coral red leather is a different media being leather not easy to match but we did out best.

what inspired you to add the red shading at the base of the diffuser?
You have any far away 3/4 shots of the entire car? I wonder how it would look if the entire diffuser matched your leather. |

I started an original thread asking members advice on what they thought about painting the diffuser, I didn't want to take the risk of committing the entire diffuser to 1 signal color that I may or may not be happy with. So I thought it would be better to keep the uniform color BSM and gradually change towards bottom of diffuser in a conservative way. To me the pictures look good but in person the rear end makes the car look about 10k more expensive.

Pretty good. Worth the price, I think. It looks really nice. Seems like if someone was to just do BSM, it would be around $150-$200....Thanks for the info! |
