Rear Diffuser & Rear spoiler & Powder Coat

Feedback please

I am tossed up in the air as to which rear diffuser to purchase and which rear spoiler to purchase.

I have a 2014 550 m sport in carbon black. I am thinking the Vorsteiner diffuser and painted it gloss black and a m5 style spoiler in carbon black from JB speed

I am also looking for a reputable shop close to nyc to powder coat my 351 m wheels gun metal or ferric grey


Any thoughts?

can't go wrong with Vorsteiner diffuser. Looks more aggressive than M5 diffuser.

The Vorsteiner diffuser looks great, gives the car a great sporty look. The CF finish also looks great, but you need to see how it fits with the overall theme of your car. In that respect, combatbmw's approach seems very sensible, install the diffuser as-is and see how you like it, you can always get it painted later.

I have the same color 550 and have been considering this for a while, let me know how it turns out. I was also unsure how the carbon fiber and Carbon Black color would look..

Combat-where did you buy the diffuser? I think I will go with your suggestion and leave it carbon fiber and see how it looks.
