Gauging interest: Painted OEM style rear diffuser

I am wondering if anyone interested in an color matched OE style diffuser.

With enough numbers we will be able to sell painted units at a LOWER prices than what the black ones are being sold right now.

All ears for comments and suggestions .

DC @ Advan-Emotion

To attach over or replace the existing part? Smooth or textured like oem part? Exact design as stock?

since it's OEM "style", any chance it'll be a little bit wider footprint to cover the holes after removing the Limited spoiler on the BRZ?

They're talking about the diffuser, the lower part attached to the bumper. It has nothing to do with the spoiler

firestorm Plz +1 even if no one else want one (its on my list)

I may be interested in WRB...

Has anyone painted the OEM diffuser? I think the factory finish matches the textured plastic on the bumper quite well. I'm skeptical that it would look better painted.

Im interested if its smooth, not planning to go color matched.

The a matt finish on the OEM diffuser don't actually match the bumper to begin with.

If we are about the get them painted, the finish will be identical as the paint of the car itself, finished with a clear coat.

Right. My question is regarding the oem part being textured, and if yours will be smooth (not regarding paint etc)

And if yours will have identical "fins" at the bottom and the reverse area opening, or if yours will vary at all

Also if yours will attach OVER the existing textured oem piece or replace it

Thanks :)

I'd need to see pics first.

I think it looks great! @Advan-Emotion I'm interested in the SWP color for the BRZ. Let us know how much they will be going for!

I believe you are talking about the gray bumper that contains the reverse lights. Advan is selling the diffuser that is bolted to the bottom of the bumper. I haven't gotten it yet but I'm almost positive it is a smooth finish. Hope this helps.

Boo. I wasnt thinking "oem diffuser" was referring to an optional/aftermarket part. My bad

Wow, it does look much better than I expected. My predicament is my BRZ is CBS, and I'm not sure the paint will be noticeable enough to warrant any extra cash...
