I switched the pained reflectors back to the OEM ones the next day after the install. Yes, the stock ones with the autoplus diffuser look much better. But I'm going to tint them a little just to give them more "cherry" look. |

I'm a fan of plastidip but I know it won't last forever and doesn't look as good as a painted product. I've dipped at least 6 pairs of wheels and multiple trim/grilles on other cars. The glossifier should give you a better appearance although still not as good as painted. I agree that $125 for some mirror covers is expensive and bring up the price of the car since $125 for a 50K car is relatively inexpensive.
I like the rear painted reflectors and have a pair on my BSM. I agree the red reflectors on the alpine white actually break up the rear all being white and prefer the stock look. |

Received and installed the Dinmann Carbon Fiber Diffuser! Better pics to come when I get a chance to clean her up! The quality is very good! Love the look of it, IMO the most aggressive one on the market.

That diffuser looks great! Did you install it yourself? If so how difficult was it?

Its much easier to access the 6 bolts on the bottom of the stock diffuser and 2 push/pop pins and being level with the tabs that hold the diffuser in place. However it can be done by anyone. It doesn't require much else. The Dinmann diffuser will require you to drill 4 holes in the bottom. 2 for the bolts. 2 for the push pins on the end. Tabs snap in easy. If you follow the MP diffuser diy its basically just how i described it. Not very difficult. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=975574 http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1084798

Installed led reverse lights in an attempt to make backing up easier after getting 5% tint on the rear window. It kinda helped. :/ Still looks good though. Here's how they compare to stock.

Pretty bright. Now you have to be concerned about people running into you being blinded by the light

Averaged 40MPG on the round trip to work and back. Eco Pro the whole time just to see what would happen.
