Can you guys help me understand the difference between the 2 different GS rear diffusers? I got rear ended last week and the shop will be replacing my bumper cover and rear diffuser and I want to make sure they use the correct one for my f sport. I have a coworker with a 2014 luxury model and I can't see a real difference in the 2 diffusers although they show they should be different part numbers. Mine is a CPO and it appears it has had the bumper touched up previously so I'm wandering if the previous owner replaced the diffuser with a non F Sport part. Pics of each would be awesome.
2013-15 inclusive "original" 4GS F Sport rear diffusers are dark metallic gray to match the charcoal wheels.
2013-15 inclusive "original" 4GS Luxury rear diffusers are black.

I have the Luxury, but I like the F Sport's gray metallic finish more.
The luxury model diffuser can be removed, and refinished to match the F sport. Just contact your local bodyshop
Recently, I have my 4GS's dark metallic gray rear diffuser painted with a new color (atomic silver metallic, 1J7). The picture is attached in this thread for comparison.
With the refreshed 2016-20 GS Series, the rear diffuser colors were reversed.
Now, the non-F Sport base/luxury rear diffusers were metallic grey, while the F Sport rear diffusers were glossy black.

i think black looks better. Makes the rear end more sharp and compact.
