If you want to change out for the CS diffuser, you'd probably want to pop the entire bumper off, only cause you have to do some cutting of the bumper to make that diffuser fit 100%.

Here's a thread on the swap: https://themustangsource.com/f802/ne...e-back-515877/

They are. You have to take the bumper cover off and cut holes in it for the diffuser insert tabs to lock to and the bottom of the factory cover. The CS/Boss diffuser is an overlay. The GT500 diffuser requires additionally cutting of the stock bumper to fit larger openings for the quad tips.

Heh, heh. I went to some friends' wedding where they had written their own vows. Each vow was supposed to end with "only you". But the groom kept saying "you" instead of "only you". I casually joked about it to my wife at the reception. The bride heard me and asked someone to show her a replay. They still aren't talking to me 10 years after.

To get back to plasti dip....
When I went to Lowe's to buy the stuff, the woman helping me said that a lot of the kids are buying the white plasti dip, spraying their wheels with it, then painting them with whatever color they want. That seems like a great idea for an autocross track day. Protects your wheels, and you can have crazy colors. I might have to try something like this.
Fluorescent green wheels for a day? Sure why not?!

Plastidip Convertible Sunvisors!
Because I live in San Diego the top is down over 300 days a year and the cloth sunvisors started to grey out badly 
I had this problem on my '04 and had them covered in vinyl. After discovering plastidip I decided to try shooting my '11's sunvisors in black plastidip
The plastidip penetrated the fabric and not only made them black again but, also waterproof! After a year, the color has remained consistent, not flaked and looks great

Here you go G! First pic is the top as treated with Plastidip. Second shows the untreated underside. Third is both sides in the same light. The Plastidip is a little darker but that is fine. The top is essentially waterproof and the lower part remains soft to the touch. In the light of day they are pretty close in color

I love plasti dip as well!!
Here are some things I've done.
Me and my friends hood, my rear valence, and my badges on the side of the car as well.
Even dipped the hood on my mach 1 diecast.
Removed my girlfriends center console and sprayed it pink for her with some gloss.
Also dipped my trashcan.
And a before and after on my ripstick.

I really want to black out my roof... But I want a quality look, and not sure if I should try to dip it... I would like it wrapped in vinyl but I called a shop and they quoted me $250! I just don't see how it's that much when I can buy a roll cheaper than $40 off eBay of the same stuff.
And my rear valence I plan on definitely re doing because I need to mask off a little higher to spray the entire valence.
Also thought about dipping my mirrors white like cobra mirrors.... But idk...
