Current condition of the rear:

Planned to look something like this when done...(no smokes tho..only clears)

or if I paint match the M3 diffuser...it will look even cleaner...

I was also considering these diamond cut tails...which seem really cool on this M3

any comments? What do ya'll think?

So far it will cost:
$150 for the M3 diffuser
$100 for the euro diamond style tails
$40-$50 for the pipe trim
and about $200-$300 to paint match everything.
I can also opt to paint it myself for about $60. (Paintscratch.com sells a $60 paint kit that will be sufficient for painting the rear lid and bumper). Not sure if I have time and space down here...though

Your exhaust will look lost in that diffuser! Look at that blue car, you can't even see the exahust anymore!

Also, if you can get a diffuser that first PEREFCTLY to a NON-M bumper, please let me know bcs due to my new exhaust, I could use one

rooz, I'm looking at my bavauto that just showed up and isn't the diffuser on page 58 made to fit non-M bumpers? $130.

**Rooz** · 09-14-2005, 06:11 PM

is it the one with the red e46 in the front of it?

**xsperf** · 09-14-2005, 06:13 PM

del,dont paint yourself unless you are a pro, trust me the shops do it better, you also have to have air compressor and spray gun(not a crappy spray gun) and i think you should not match the diffuser, but you should match the moldings

**Rooz** · 09-14-2005, 06:17 PM

Called bavauto, "THEY SAY" it would be a PEREFECT fit for NON-M bumpers, it doesn't come painted, comes stock black, and it's currently $116 instead of $130. Now I don't feeel very good about ordering this from bavauto through my past experiences, bcs so far everytime they have told me that something would fit perfectly, it didn't...

But I tell you what though, an AC rear diffuser would look ten times better than the M3 style one...
