body shop offered that option to me. i declined. i think you need that contrast on the rear bumper. otherwise the bumper looks bulbous imo. if you have a picture maybe i can do a quick photoshop

the center exhaust was a little harder to do. plus it has some design in the middle i couldn't mimic. also i could only find a 4s pic.




here's with a little contrast.

Anyone else have an opinion on Painting the diffuser? Hard to tell if it will look good.

Keep in mind that it's gonna get dirty very easily, and very quickly. While it'll look good, there's a reason Porsche leaves it black.

Like BMW, they leave the bottom of the diffuser black to minimize the size of the rear end. Having said that, the photoshopped dual exhaust version looks OK. Easier to determine with a side by side comparison photo though
