Gabe,
I like the rear deck lid going to try that one. Looks good.

Thanks,

I just plasti dipped my faux gas cap tonight. I think it looks real sharp.

This is my first attempt and I'm not very patient so there are a couple of imperfections, but the beauty of plasti dip means I can remove and try again!

I did this over the weekend. It didn't come out perfect, but I'm not going to do it again before getting either a GT500 or Boss diffuser.

What are the steps that make it a PITA?

It is, but you probably can do a better quality job by removing it. If you were paying someone to do something and they used a shortcut, wouldn't you be a little ticked?

Not if the job is still done correctly. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Looks good! This is what I have been thinking about doing too... Any other pics (closer or maybe a straight shot)? Did you take the piece off, or just tape it off?

Even if he removed the rear bumper, he would still have to tape it off, so I can assume he taped it off while it was still on the car. It looks very good.

I taped off most of the bumper, but I carefully razorbladed along the inside of the diffuser lip and peeled off the rest to get the crisp line that you see there.

Not the whole bumper, just the lower area that's painted. It comes off (so you can attach the other diffusers)...

Interesting, I thought the 13+ rear bumpers were one piece. Do you leave the bumper on when replacing the diffuser? I know for my 11 I had to remove the entire bumper cover.

Cool. Thanks! I am not a huge fan of the CS diffuser (I like the idea of it, just not the overall look), so I thought this would be a good way to get a similar look until something else comes along that I do like...
