custom diffuser painted... what you think? get it?

pn_e92 · 10-16-2011, 11:53 PM

So I want to change up my exhaust and get a quad diffuser.
I was thinking of getting the one pictured below in FRP plastic (save $175 vs carbon fiber) and paint it.

Paint scheme I was thinking would be alpine white all over except red fins (the 3 things sticking out in the middle).
I believe it would go along with my white and red theme of my car very well, but am not so sure if the idea would look good in person.

what you think?
suggestions?

Nope

I don't think it will look good - I'd do black or carbon fiber.

lol he said red fins, cf and leave it alone.

definitely cf or black
the red fin idea would not look good!

I don't like carbon fiber that much and want to make my car's diffuser different.
I really like the 335is or bmw performance diffuser, but a lot of people have it.

Plus, I have the whole white and red theme going on, trying to make it stand out more.

Any suggestions on unique diffusers?
