Default which diffuser?? opinions wanted

need some quick opinions: just got in a mini rear bumper diffuser in a combo pack, but I also have the larger, popular and more extreme (wald-style?) rear diffuser add-on as well. cant fit em both, so I'm at a loss as to which is more appropriate for my car. I think I am leaning more towards the smaller diffuser, partially because it would be much simpler to install by myself, but also because its a but more understated. the larger diffuser is (very slightly) warped, so molding/professional install might be required there ... what do you guys think??


sorry, last pic sucks, I know

Hm really depends on your taste... I think the smaller one is an S4Play style diffuser and the larger one is a MyRide style diffuser. If you want something more aggressive than the latter would be better imo, if you get it painted and leave the middle section blacked out or get the fins painted body color. The S4Play is more subtle and can simple and installation is easier and cheaper since it just screws into the plastic underpanel and can be left unpainted if you want

think I'm gunna do mini one for now, with 3m tape, while I look for a suitable installer/painter. gotten to be a pro with the double sided tape and goo gone! decent compromise, will use both to a certain extent. I just hate having them both, and having neither actually installed; cause otherwise they are just more pieces of junk in my garage until I put em to use. but I keep looking at it and I think the larger one works better with the larger spoiler.. thanks aspect

You can run both a lip and diffuser if you wanted, although the double diffuser in this situation would be a bit odd. Something like a Toms or GFX rear lip would work nicely with the S4Play

Or you can do a CF vinyl wrap with our diffuser, works and looks great!
