I agree - rear is looks nice, but with a massive overlay onto the bumper.
Around 780 USD, hand lay-up (WET) Carbon fibre, requires a clear coating finish...
The full kit is about 2450 USD

Sorry but I totally forgot I didn't post my custom diffuser pictures on this thread that I started...OMG my bad!
this is what mine looks like - cheaper for sure than TOM's and fully reversible if you want to remove it at a later date! Still have some things to sand down before going to get it either painted or wrapped in CF....

Let my buddy drive the IS-F on the way home earlier since he's a true m3 diehard. He could not believe how fast my car was and loved the exhaust note!
I wanted to see how the rear valence looks from behind and it definitely serves it's purpose. I swear it looks almost OEM as does not protrude or affect the ground clearance in anyway. The 3M CF trim around the exhausts really make it look complete. I was trying to imagine the diffuser without the vinyl and it may/may not work.
I'm happy since so far nothing else on the market makes me say I wish I did something else so that means it worked. I was parked next to a modded e92 m3 the other day and we both walked out of the grocery in time to have a short chat. He has some Vorsteiner pieces on his dropped m3 so the side-by-side comparo was pretty cool. Too bad no camera with me so will have to wait til this summer.

Well after about a weeks worth of driving and doing 120 mph a few times the rear diffuser is still rock solid so at least I know it's not going to fly off....hahaha - car felt about the same on the highway.
Still debating if I'm going to paint the piece
