Carbon Dipping M Performance Diffuser

I'm am thinking of having my M Performance diffuser dipped in a carbon pattern. My wing mirrors and spoiler are carbon fiber and I think this would tie in nicely. Has anyone seen a MP diffuser dipped or wrapped yet?

Post on the board a while back of examples of dipping parts. Even found a dealer within an 1 hour of me that could carbon dip the engine cover. The only issue is the cost of getting a plastic piece dip can have a good amount of labor cost. The dealer I spoke with required hand sanding the piece so the image would stick and lay flat. If you can do that yourself the cost would be very low.

It's probably still cheaper than painting so the cost doesn't really worry me.

Would just like to see if anyone else had wrapped or dipped their diffuser or splitter and how it looked...

I had my diffuser wrapped in gloss black to match the car, it looks great and has held up well after a couple of months.

I received my diffuser back today after being dipped. Looks great. Will get a picture up once I get it installed.

can you post pictures of the unpainted diffuser on your car? I have a BSM M235 and I was curious what a matte diffuser and splitter look like in the wild on a black car.
