Wrapping 2020 C43 rear diffuser in carbon

Hello

What are your thoughts on trying this? Not a huge fan of my gloss black and saw a few amgs with carbon and it looked good. The car is a lease so I'm not sure I want to replace the diffuser with a real CF one as I really like the shape of the oem one. Anyone think it will look really bad?

Possibly because they lacked the proper skills to do so. Faux fiber is in these days huh?

I dont like black gloss, trust me the faux part sucks but im not buying a diffuser that changes the look for 800 bucks on a lease. Plus maybe the faux carbon will look good around my faux exhaust tips from factory.....

No peeling issues. I did inlays on the fins. Took me around 2-3 hrs to wrap it.
