Are you looking for some that are the color of the car? Or black? or?? My lower diffuser is Polaris White like the car, but the plastic surround is gloss black. I actually used black out tint on the reverse lights, so they blend in, but still work fine when they are on.

Doubt this is what you are looking for, but here is mine...I also used ceramic gloss black on the exhaust tips, and all black badges, and removed the "Jaguar", and the "AWD" badges.

I was thinking about painting the diffuser, which on your car is already painted whilte, plus the piece directly above it. I like the look of yours.

Painting that pipe surround body color as well will make the *** end 👀 too fat.

With deep respects to Sir Mix A Lot, I have to agree that it might be too much to do the pipe surround as well. Mien has the body color diffuser like Rock’s and it’s just enough.

I am planning to fit my black tailpipes this week (they have carbon fiber surrounds) and I would love to do some of the Koshi carbon pieces, but they don’t make a diffuser or a piece for the rear panel between the glass roof and rear hatch. I have been doing a lot of research and may go with the vivid tach art carbon fiber wrap. I have some that looks really good and Vivids is actually supposed to be better - my only reservation is that it won’t look authentic. I have the rear diffuser off already and I would imagine the black pipe surround comes off The bumper cover which would make it easier to wrap. As far as doing everything body color, I guess it depends on the color, but I really like the contrast on the rear especially with silver (silver-black-silver).
