Rear diffuser wrap

Anyone here have their bottom rear diffuser wrapped? I asked my shop that wrapped my roof in gloss black to do the same to my rear diffuser but they declined - they said too many ridges, bumps etc. for their liking.

Why not get it sprayed at a shop?

$100.00 for the prep and paint, but probably a little cheaper than normal, as I am friends with the body shop owner and his painter.

I’m getting mine wrapped. The guy who did my ceramic coating and washes the car said it’s easy enough.

Yup same here, my detail shop said no issues- barely an inconvenience. Scheduled for Friday!

I might have mine back today. He is tinting the reflectors as well so hoping it looks way better than the crappy grey it comes with.

Anything will be better than the gray. The gray looked great with my 2018 Bluestone, but I switched all the cerium over to gloss black with the red and needless to say the gray rear panel had to go.

Get your wrap done yet?

Having mine wrapped in Gloss Black today, also tinting reflectors if they can turn it out before days end. If not I'll drop them off another day for tint. Have a Alpine White, the grey is the last non White/Black/CF piece left lol

Yep. Sorry for crap photo, struggled to get a good spot where is was bright enough. Will redo today.

We went for satin black as getting gloss black to match or not clash was deemed too hard.

It looks way better in the flesh and especially when compared to the grey.
