Default Rear diffuser.

What's up CL! So my list of mods is surely not long compared to many other guys in here. And I'm really looking to get something for my exterior next, being that the only mod I have on the exterior are Joe Z CF tips.
I'm thinking about getting a rear diffuser. Honestly, I like the WALD kit and the TOMS Exterior Package but I'm not a big fun of anything on the front or the sides for that matter. Through search, I've seen many people really hate on a SFP having the WALD kit so I'm kinda torn. Any suggestions?

S4play's custom diffuser + paint or black/carbon vinyl on the bottom part of the bumper. Total cost less than $300 and looks dope, imo.

The Wald diffuser is dramatic and looks so aggressive, but I like it. If you want more of a subtle diffuser look, I would go with S4play's custom diffuser. That's what I have on my F, and I have no complaints.

That's what you said before Shadow. Lol I'm just not sure I like the matte black look. I like the aggressiveness of the wald rear. But many people say the wald rear diffuser almost requires a black roof.

Lowrider painted the area between the pipes with a custom gunmetal (I think) to match his wheels. Looks good and can be done low budget if you're handy.

DiNoc cost alone on this piece is about $30 - $40 for a 12" x 60", then you have to install it.

I found an installer to do mine for $100.00 labor and parts and it only took about 20 minutes.

This was totally worth it to have someone do it for me.

Wow that looks good. I think you can only do that on the lighter colored cars and not on obsideian or sgm colored Fs. Would blend in too much I would think.

Very sharp picture Lou! For once the least expensive solution also looks clean and 100% reverse-able

here's my setup, same 3M wrap and my diffuser:
