Wrapping the rear diffuser
Just had this mod done and I think it adds a more aggressive look without being over the top. Decided to leave the red vents alone to add more dimension to the look. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend.

how did they cut the wrap?... I wondered if a machine does it or if they freehand it, in that case I would be worried about them cutting into the paint or having uneven edges but yours looks good... I have thought about doing this to mine, it seems far more durable than plastidip, not permanent should I decide to remove it, and also won't be very expensive

I did the same to my silver coupe about 3 years ago. I did gunmetal grey to compliment my Forgestar f14's of the same color. Still holding up well even after driving in the rain and sitting in the hot sun all day. I had the rear insert sections done too so they would blend in more.
