Paint it black, but I think you should keep the exhaust... I like how it sticks out

1.Honestly If I were you I would demand a full refund for the paint job since they painted things you told them not to touch.

2.Then I would take the money and go somewhere else that does top quality work and have them paint the diffuser back to black.

They are one of the top shops in the area. This is the forth time I have been there and to this point things have been great. That's why I went there again.

this is how it's supposed to look:



Note: The diffuser is not Black, but Graphite Grey color code.

Did they Sand down the bumper before applying the new paint, if they did of course the painter wouldn't have known about the diffuser being painted already.

IMO I like the diffuser painted black or dark grey. Hopefully you have the written estimate of the job that you requested and it stated exactly what you wanted painted and what paint color, etc. If you do then you definately can go back and make them fix it at their cost. Hope it all works out but it does look nice.
