I agree on the diffuser. I did mine with Plasti Dip to see what it'd look like and its a nice improvement. Unfortunately I'm all stock otherwise. Considering the water/dirt runoff and possible rocks/debris the diffuser might encounter I'd say go with matte so scratches might not be as noticeable.

Did you have any problems with peeling from the heat from the exhaust tips.

Looks great. Do you happen to know what length those tips are? I was looking into some Gibson tips but don't really wanna pay $70+ per side.
