Body colored rear diffuser

Tag · 10-16-2023, 03:54 PM

One thing that's always bothered me with the rear bumper is how the diffuser cuts a huge notch into it. Made this PS to see what it would like if the diffuser was in body color. Was pleasantly surprised how much of a difference it made. What are your impressions?

Looks clean. I like it.

That’s not bad at all. I remember my F80 stock was body colored, but I did end up going CF.
I did do the IND painted front on g87 and I’m very pleased with the look.

Would love to see IND-Distribution offer the rear diffuser in body color. It would go really well with their front center lip in body color too.

Do you have pics of your car with the front lip in body color?

it looks to me like someone stole the diffuser off of it

i think your solution does help fix the design issue with the rear but creates a new one, for me anyway. maybe extending the red only down to the top of the exhaust cutouts may fill in the perceived gap. just my two cents

I dont know, I see a face. Reminds me of a poorly carved 🎃 (maybe because of the time of year).

It would definitely not have the same effect on a BSM car.

Straightforward. I would say upper clips are quite hard to release. Much easier to release by slipping flat tool between trim pieces from the front, rather then trying to depress actual clips from behind. IND describes similar approach.
