Alternative to painting rear diffuser?
#22
home depot, lowes, any hardware store. If you really couldnt find it at any store, im sure you could find it online. Price could be from $3-6 dollars depending on the store. Mom and Pop hardware stores are usually a little more expensive, espically for the good stuff.

There is another post floating around where the OP used pin strip tape to out-line the diffuser part because it bend easier around the round part and then use regular painter's masking tape to seal up the rest of the bumper area. I believe he prep the diffuser part with scotch brite before using primer and paint. My TW is also painted satin black and I have to say it looks a lot sportier, meaner and overall better.
so scotch brite is enuff to prep the surface before paint? i hear sandpaper but dont know which grit to get or start with.

I used Krylon primer and satin black. Also Scotch Brite. It is peels will redo using sandpape but I think the Brite took enuf off for the primer to grab.

An after market item is not required. Just jack it up and spray it. Mine is still fine and has been through a winter.
