Default Wait a minute.....S4Play diffuser question

I was about to order this and then I see the pics and I don't know what the diffuser actually is. Is it just a lower diffuser like on the car pictured in the foreground or does it cover part of the vertical surface of the bumper like in the car in the background???

Cant anything be easy??

Ah, I see. The one for the F goes up, the x50 does not.

Ok, I can order now

I believe it's just the bottom piece. The white F pictured has the vinyl wrap above it

Both cars in the picture above have the s4play , the white with wrap or dip on the bumper.
the s4play is just the add on to the under bumper.

s4play = just the "spikes"
the black part is just a vinyl add on like below

Aye. Dang it. That means more work...oh well.

I guess i shouldve read up more, but every picture on the F showed with wrap and the pics with the isx50 had no wrap.

Thanks for for he verification.

I thought we had this straightened out in our PMs I thought I spelled out that I had my bumper painted in the area above the diffuser. Sorry if I wasn't clear

Lou,

I think the S4 diffuser looks great! It's subtle but still has a presence, then couple that with what you did and it looks awesome, think I might go this route as well as it seems cheaper than going with the other diffusers.

I have this on my is350. It's just spikes basically like everyone else said and you just drill it on to your stock diffuser. Very easy and should only take about 10-20 minutes at most. I like mine even though you can't always see it, but when you can I think it's one of those small details that make all the difference. I would definitely recommend it for a more aggressive car like the F.

Like I said, hard to see, especially on camera. But from certain angles and distances it's easily noticeable and in my opinion looks great in that it's aggressive but also subtle.

Thank you. I like it too. Yes, it is understated IMHO!

Not at all Lou, that's on me. When all of the pics online showed it with the dipped area, I guess I still assumed that was part of the diffuser. When you said paint (instead of dipped or wrapped) I wasn't 100% sure what you meant but didn't want to bug you further on PM. I'm still new to the whole dipped/wrap thing

I found a local shop that does the 3M wrap, so I think I will head up there and see the cost to wrap this area, my spoiler and the roof and roof spoiler. Then I'll get the chin spoiler painted to match. Got my plan now!

It just screws on to the bottom of bumper. Makes it more aggressive though as I have one.

I will be selling mine soon and ordering Wald diffuser. Will post in sales once I take off

Just bottom part, spikes only. Contact s4play if you need more specifics.

Can you add this diffuser with the Toms rear diffuser as well ? Or is this a one or the other thing . I like the more functional aspect of this piece . Thanks
