It's a CF aftermarket diffuser, no brand or specific type.

Yeah, Im personally not a fan of red wheels as they're too 'loud' for my taste. But I enjoy seeing them on the right build

I tried Photoshopping red wheels as well as gold and it just doesn't seem right to me, maybe if I had charcoal grey or had air suspension.

Not feelin' it brother and I'm all for different colored wheels and being unique. I'm really trying to like it but this combo isn't working for me. It's almost like a powder blue? Probably better if you had a close up of the color

No not powder blue at all. Like I said it's not for everyone.

For the most part I feel like you mod your car for you, not for approval of anyone else. That said, I do think you could find a color combo that works better with your car's color. Whatever you decide, enjoy it bro.

+1 Thanks for the feedback.

I like the diverse feedback it brings. The controversial opinions is what makes modding fun and unique. It makes the car stand out, out of the norm.

I've received plenty of compliments on the combo and I've also received a few questions on what made me choose the color.

Simply posted to show that I mod my car to my liking and nothing else.

Can you get a close up shot bro? The more I look at it the more it's drawing my attention!

xxpanipuri · 07-27-2016, 04:19 PM

That's Frozen Gray, I think that looks well with the body style and the anodized on matte contrast. I test fitted candy red VMR's on my car and personally don't like it. The same way people don't find blue wheels fitting. Everyone prefers different flavor of tea

VB5ER · 07-27-2016, 05:48 PM

I like the fact that you are trying something different. Just need a little color match accents. Maybe wrap a few of the grill slats to match the rims or the sidelights or mirrors. Can't hurt to try it.
