here's the thing.. the diffuser itself holds up ok, but when you bottom out the diffuser will tug and push on the bumper which can lead to stress cracks in the paint. its a biatch to maintain. mines going back in for a new diffuser, bumper respray, some sort of scrape guard and clear bra real soon. i almost sold the setup but i love the look too much to get rid of it. im also gonna play with getting the lower lip portion of the side skirt painted some sort of black that will complement my ts rear diffuser. im running gf210's in the front and my diffuser sits about 2 inches off the ground. you can imagine how much i scrape, its sickening. gonna go to coils soon so that i can actually raise the front end a bit. the tt weighs the front end down a bit causing it be to lower than what the specs on the springs indicate. i just need to drive my beater more often. 
does that mean u can sell me your old diffuser?

Same here.. I repair the diffuser and the front bumper every 3 months or so.... Real pain in da @$$...
if you were to paint the diffuser the same color as the bumper??

i dont know about you guys, but WAT!? The amuse sides are pretty high imo, which is pretty much the only reason why i went with INGS Nspec sides.
And i agree with nexx, the diffuser will hold up extremelly well, but will push up when you scrape and transfer stress to your bumper. I have already cracked both sides where it bolts up to the fenders and it looks like spiderman went crazy on my paint.
BUT you will notice, my diffuser looks weird in this pic because contrary to popular belief (kidding), you CAN destroy a CF diffuser. The bottom portion was ripped off driving through a puddle when my neighbourhood was flooded
