Anyone tried to blackout the rear diffuser?

Interested in seeing what it looks like. Even photoshop anyone?

Blacked out cans

I intend to at minimum black out my cane with VHT paint - if someone comes out with a diffuser that covers it I may go that route ..

IMO stock diffuser looks extremely boring even if you change color to something else to give mismatched look.
CF performance diffuser is lovely though.
I like Bmw one much better than Akra's.

Here is a photoshop. I found this picture on Bimmerpost and Photoshop it. I chose white because it is an easy color to see the contrast difference. I allowed the diffuser edge to reflect light so you can see the profile. Even a flat black / matte black piece will reflect light.

Needs to be gloss black, will look really clean. Of course this is just a temporary fix until you get a CF diffuser.

i plan on doing dry carbon wrap to it this weekend.

Since the tips are removable I may also coat them in a high temp black paint.
