Hmm with the performance, do you guys think I should get the rep one with the CF part in the middle, or all matte black? Not sure how the cf combo would look on a tiag..

If you can get OEM, I would ALWAYS go that route. In your situation, I'd definitely go OEM perf. diffuser.

as much as I love the BMW Performance diffuser, i don't think it looks as good on lighter color cars because of the black/light color contrasts it has in it. If it was black/monoco blue or space grey I'd say sure 100% BMW Perf. but TiAg might not look as good as it does in those dark shades. With the 3D, at least its all one color dark CF color.

Either will look great though... good luck
