Default Installed Rear Facia Diffusers (Pics)

Over the weekend I installed the body colored rear facia diffusers from corvette mods. Let me know what you guys think. If anyone asks the exhaust is B&B Bullets factory powder coated black.

OK, since you asked. Not my taste, but if you like it, that's all that matters.

To look cool. I assume they are less than functional.

It looks add on to me, I think it would look better if you had painted your diffuser white also, so it all blends as one. just my two cents..

I would get a can of RUST-OLEUM Fine Texture Finish black paint at my local LOWES store, mask off the areas around the diffusers with blue painters tape, and then spray-paint the diffusers with it. This will give the diffusers a finish and color that is identicle to the rear facia to which they are attached, making them look like they are an integral molded-in part of the facia rather than glued on aftermarket additions to it. You really have to ask yourself "why would only the diffusers be smooth shinny white and the rest of the facia be textured semi-gloss black?" Makes no sense, especially on a car with flat black exhaust tips.
