Should my diffuser look like this?

I just put an M-Tech rear on my LCI and wondered about the diffuser, should the corners be offset like that from the main bumper? It looks ok just wondering if I installed it right.

Also, what do you guys think of the standard grey diffuser on my black sapphire mettalic car? I'm not sure I like it, it's growing on me but maybe I should do a CF diffuser?

it looks great... i think you should leave it gray unless you want to put a lot of CF parts on your car

Unless you are going to mod your car, I say leave the stock diffuser.

I'm not going to get a new exhaust so I probably won't change the diffuser. I don't want to pay $1400 either.

I saw PYSpeed had carbon fiber wrap for the exterior that I thought may work, butfor now I'll stick with the way it is. Thanks for the advice/opinions

I don't know where you got the 1400 price tag but I'm pretty sure the JL diffuser is not that expensive.

That's where I got the $1400.

I'll look around, I know JBSpeed has a plain cf diffuser. I don't like the Performance diffuser with all the panels & lines.

go with CF for sure. Some of them are good enough and cost only 300$
