Looks good buddy, your replacement screws should be arriving soon!

Should try to do a shoot for your m3 / ISF - I think those colors would be a striking contrast.

I extended the rear vinyl piece to overlap the edge of the diffuser bottom. Now it looks like one piece.

^^^^I will not be reversing mine

And BTW, the color I chose to put on the bumper is a mixture of the stock paint and black. I watched while the mixing was done, and was able to choose the final color. I like it

We just had a diffuser painted like lowrideraz - the cost is actually less to paint vs. wrapping in some cases. Regardless the diffuser can work with/without the wrap.

When I first did my IS-F wrap months ago, I'm pretty sure I was the only guy to do it and was only on a trial basis since I wasn't sure how it would look. Now it seems this trend has really taken off

I will try to snap some pictures of diffusers with/without the paint side-by-side for comparison.

great custom piece! the wrap or contrast in that area seems to make the rear end appear a bit more slim.

^Excellent comparison - I think it really depends on the exterior color of the car....certain colors pull off the diffuser nicely without the vinyl wrap and others do better with it.

the first time I had my car wrapped - no one else did it and now it's almost a trend or necessity!
