Hydro dipping rear diffuser - advice

All, late last year I did a hydro dip on an f20 m-perf roof spoiler. The result is amazing but I haven't stuck it on yet as Ive been busy. Ive attached some pics of the result. It makes the relatively small spoiler look very nice on a black car. Chris from SDR in moorabin vic did this for me. Here is a link he posted
. Originally I had a replica 3ddesign. Overall that spoiler is much better looking on the f20 and I regret not sanding and prepping it for Chris to dip that one

I was thinking of also dipping the rear diffuser. Originally i got in touch with manhart to buy their diffuser. However they never replied back for shipping costs so i lost interest. Just wondering what people think of dipping the diffuser. Would it suit or not? Any thoughts or pics of others?

Stifla,

Carbon spoiler looks good. I think carbon hydro dipping grill, mirror caps and diffuser would compliment your roof spoiler v well.

This could be a good option for those who also want the carbon fibre look on some of the interior parts eg console, vent covers and door grabs.

Stifla, What was the cost to have your spoiler done?

BP I agree I think the diffuser would look good if it was dipped too. I may do that in the next few weeks. AusF20 the dip cost 200 bucks but it was worth it considering the end result. They seem to dip anything from wheels to small parts. I wouldnt dip wheels but they look pretty cool as he showed me a few he has there for show
