Default SGM Toms Diffuser Install

After 6 months my Toms diffuser is finally installed!!! Love the look with Smoky Granite Mica.

The CF and SGM really go good together. The rear with the WALD trunk lip looks amazing.

Looks good. Have you considered polishing those tips?

Looks great! What took so long to install it or was the wait for it to ship?

Toms had difficulties getting diffusers out. At the 3 month mark toms had made 6 diffusers. I was # 7 on the list... took a little over 6 months for me...

Looks great and I just got mine in as well. Rolled the back and did a slight pull.

looks bad ***!!! I just put mine on a couple weeks ago. Completely changes the car and makes you stand out from the F-sports. Took me about three months to get and well worth the wait and price IMO. Mine fits 99 percent perfect with a tiny gap just above passenger side exhaust. How's your fitment?

Looks nice guys. IMHO The diffuser blossoms more with lighter ISF colors.

Actually I love the way it looks with SGM. It looks almost OEM in a way, which is a little cleaner and more stealth, which is my preference. I have the S4Play diffuser, but if I were to get Wald or toms I'd paint it Obsidian to match my car.

My thoughts exactly. That's sort of why I chose the WALD. The red reflectors break up the bumper and diffuser from blending too much together. Though Toms was a bit more accessible to get, I just like the look of WALD and the aggression it brings.

I agree with the CF on SGM, whether Toms or WALD. I'd have a hard time painting over the CF. Numerous F owners as well as those who put CF parts on the car like to show off the weave pattern and look. To me, it just adds a nice accent on the car itself, like the badge or chrome exhaust tips.
