Diffusers and side skirts

Hey guys! So I hate the silver lip on my car so I went with a black one and now wondering if I should lip the rest of the car and if I do whether to do it black or cf. If anyone can post pics of what they’ve done and where they got the parts it’d be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Here are a few pics of mine. I created a thread a few months back titled “Evolution of my c43” that has a ton of pictures. Here is a link:

Both of these look amazing, heartboost I saw your post and love it, I'm just not sure with my car being white if I should do the rest carbon or stick with the black I already did for the front. Also having trouble finding just black side skirts

that looks sharp.
I go back and forth thinking about changing to the black exhaust tips.

Darosen that looks SICK, where did you get the diffuser? I’m going to get that one for mine without a doubt. I was worried it wouldn’t look good without the skirts but I love how that looks, how did you black out the side piece of the side skirt?

Thanks man. I got the diffuser from cks performance. I opted for the oem option and could not be more satisfied even though it’s quite more expensive. For the side trim I just had them wrapped

Ugh looks like they’re UK based, anyone know of a good place in the US to purchase from? I didn’t want to go eBay but checked there anyway and didn’t like the choices.

OK picked one out, next question, did you guys do the install yourselves or did you take it to a body shop? I'm pretty handy but not above paying someone to do it

So i bought the same front lip and all it has on it is double side 3m tape which mounts on the top, with no place for it to be screwed down at on the bottom. Do you think it will actually stay or should i cut my losses and buy on like Darosen? I'm honestly at a loss on this one...

Dont use tape. Its not strong enough and is thick enough that it can leave a visible gap (I did this, removed it, and did it over). Use stainless self tapping screws (amazon) and a 90 degree drill / screwdriver.

I had the diffuser painted at the MB dealership auto body shop, it is not wrapped. It is a gloss black, and as I consider it, I should have done it with less gloss.
