Painting Diffuser
Has anyone tried painting the rear diffuser on the M=Sport Bumper a darker color. To me, it's not enough contrast between it and Space Gray. Thinking about painting it Matte Black.
How have you guys done it?

I'm not going to talk about the 'how' but plenty of people have done it. Before buying my 3D Design diffuser, I was going to either paint my M-Tech diffuser or buy a Cyba CF Diffuser and paint it Matte Black.
It's no big deal. |

+1. Should be pretty straight forward. Almost any reputable paint shop should be able to do this for you. I do agree with OP that the stock mtech diffuser looks pretty plain...especially against space gray.

I wasn't really talking about taking it to a paint shop, but more along the lines of do-it-yourself kind of stuff.

it is going to cost about the same .. not to mention that you need to get a base coat on and clear coat. The part itself is not really cheap if you want to look right. might as well just ask local paint shop do it for ya. I did mine for 40
