Thoughts on painting just the rear diffuser? Thinking about getting rid of just some of the sea of black in the back. Photo below is from prototype car way back when. Haven't seen any others.

I would paint all the lower gloss black bits around the car to body colour and leave the middle part of the rear bumper, i.e., the "diffuser" in black

Yep, agreed. Seen some cars painted that way and it’s a nice improvement.

Yea, I've seen that and to me, it makes an already ugly car look bloated - especially in mint.

It has been getting rave reviews, interested to hear your thoughts! I love the idea of them simulating a dual clutch transmission experience, very unique.

Z4 update, they want $63k. Pass, will lose $10k in a year minimum and not a stick to lessen the pain. Oh well!

This market needs to correct much quicker, this shit is getting old man.

Your first mistake was getting it in Mint

It'll make it look lower, if you're lowered and got good stance... But yeah, they're trying to hide the mass that way, which isn't really working tbh because then you've half the car black and I despise that trend so much.
