So I was going to spray the diffuser and tips matte black, so the rear looks more purposeful (like a diffuser), separates itself from the bumper, and to give a clean look for the exhausts.

Decided to do the tips separate from the fins.

So much better.



What do you guys think?
Looks really nice! No worries, that it might bubble?

Nah it's seemed to have held up in previous applications, but if it does I'll just do it again - no biggie!

And in case you guys weren't aware of how clean the car is...



















...sorry

Simply outstanding! Unless you have a black car, no one truly knows how utterly hard it is to make it presentable. Every other color hides so many blemishes but black will not only show, but highlight the smallest defect. To look this good is beyond remarkable. Well done......

Appreciate the kind words, thank you

I was a little skeptical about buying the car, but have learnt a lot about car detailing and what not since owning it!
