No,it doesn't go over the top. Its a remove and replace job. No double sided tape needed. 5min job.

This (x2). I wanted the finned style diffuser in body color, not CF. With the black tips that come with the Comp Pkg, I felt there was not enough contrast between the exhaust tips and the CF (or black) diffuser - which is why I went with body color (I also have the CF rear spoiler as well). At the end of the day, it is all about what you like on your car though, but I think you can't go wrong with either look...

Interesting note, it seems the forthcoming M3 CS has a body colored finned diffuser as well. So it would not surprise me if we see more body colored, finned diffusers on the F8X chassis in the not too distant future. We are just slightly ahead of the power curve ....

What a dope! Ahhh, yes now I see the difference now. They do look much nicer finned. I didn't even realize mine were not finned.

Hey Brasko do you have photos of the diffuser on your car? Do you like the color over the glossy black? How much did carking charge you?

Here's a shot from the rear. If I didn't like the color, I wouldn't have purchased it. Not sure how much a paid. Wasn't much though.

Not bad, my car is white so I prefer black diffuser for more contrast.
