Default Help me find a diffuser...

I installed gloss black side skirts and front splitter on my '11 Torch Red GS. I love the look and now want to ungrade the rear diffuser to the same high gloss appearance ....but all the aftermarket ones I've found are C/F. Nothing against CF, but that's not the look I want. Does anyone know where I can find a fiberglass diffuser that will accomodate my factory dual mode exhaust? If you think you have what I'm looking for, please post some pics. Thanks in advance for the help.

I actually just had mine painted gloss black and it looks awesome. No reason to get an aftermarket part when you can just paint the one you have. Here's my thread....

I thought of that .... and yours looks great! What was required to prep it and did you remove from the car for paint? Clear coat too? Post more pics if you have them.

I kinda would like to have something a little more aggresive that stock but am not interested in paying $1000+. Paint may be the way to go.

I've added a pick of the front splitter I'd like to match.

I love my Breathless Performance one. It's fiberglass so you can paint it gloss black to match. I wish it was in CF!

I dont have any more pics atm. It was super easy though. Taped up the entire car and left the diffuser on. Simple scuff paint and clear.
