    Wrap or Paint Valance?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So just bought an after market valance through an AZ member recently and it's matte black. I was wondering if I should wrap the whole diffuser or just end up getting it painted. My only concern with the wrap is that it being so close to the exhaust it might warp due to the heat. Anyone have experience or suggestions?

    That was my thinking too. I was going to get it painted gloss black after the winter, but I'm also partial to getting it carbon fiber wrapped...

    Most places won't wrap a diffuser. The material doesn't stick well on that part of the car.

    Mine in painted satin black. Love it.
    Life has taught me never try to make something idiot proof, they'll simply come up with a better idiot.
    I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
    I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain this to you properly.

    I would get it wrapped in carbon fiber. Did that a few times on my previous 2012 S4. The price was reasonable. I can let you know a good place for carbon, paint and wrap.
