Rear Diffuser

Rearro · 06-24-2008, 11:35 PM

I had it painted gloss black like the shadow line trim but I had them keep the recessed portion the original color for contrast.

what do you guys think??

gatorfast · 06-24-2008, 11:37 PM

Looks good.

Nice1 · 06-24-2008, 11:38 PM

I think of all the painted ones, yours looks the best-- not ricey at all and blends well with the shadowline trim. That contrast also works great. Well done! :thumbup:

Thanks!!! I also found out that the Recessed portion in the center COMES OFF!!! I was told by the body shop that it is held in with Double stick tape.... LOTS OF IT!! so I was thinking that one could pull that part out and put some mesh material like we have in the front scoop maybe even a diff color?? Just a thought??:iono:

is that an x5 parked next to it?

Thanks for the complement!!

I had not seen the write up of Papethova!!
It looks pretty good with the mesh I wonder how the mesh would look with my gloss diffuser? ... But I'm not sure I want to try it!

ansun · 06-25-2008, 12:18 AM

i LOVE it

I'm very keen on painting mine after seeing some of the work from other 1addicts. I think graphite would work better than black for being paired with montego, though.

Rearro - would love to see some more pics from different angles/distances/lighting!

I'll take some more pic's when I get a sec. But I have to warn you I am not the best of photographers

Robert · 06-25-2008, 04:00 PM

Need more lighting in the pictures. I can't see the contrast at all.

Upgrade+ · 06-25-2008, 09:10 PM

Yes, more pics! I'm loving it. Also, what were you charged for the service?

Rearro · 06-25-2008, 11:57 PM

I hope I did Ok!! Here's more Pictures!!

Jumpman · 06-26-2008, 07:55 AM

Thanks for posting those. Looks great. I think if you were to combine this with the wire mesh mod (posted in DIY) it would be REALLY nice!

Steve135i · 06-26-2008, 10:51 AM

Looks really nice, alot cheaper than cf.
