JDM Rear Bumper vs APR CF Rear Diffuser

I was wondering what you guys think would look better? What would you guys go with? (I'm also going to be running a CF Rexpeed type 1 spoiler, spats, front lip) A JDM Rear Bumper or a CF APR Rear Diffuser on the US bumper.

ps. Anyone know what kind of cf weave the apr diffuser has?

ive seen the cf go for 600ish and the jdm bumper go around there too. I think install for the jdm is more difficult though. Also, the diffuser supposedly has a purpose other than looks

If you have an aggressive look then go with the diffuser, if your mostly stock go with the JDM rear...i like the JDM rear reguardless...

JDM REAR FTW. the install is not that hard just takes some time. I made a brand new more understandable guide how to install it with LOTS AND LOTS OF PICS. Check the how to section on evom for mine. The guide that was on here did not explain things to well at all for my taste so i just winged it. I did the install alone would be easier or rather quicker with another set of hands. the look of the jdm is just way to aggressive to not have not to mention with the new varis rear cf diffuser now you have something going on there. dont say its expensive because if you guys look there are people in the for sale forums selling there jdm rears for 425-625 all day. I got mine brand new for 500 shipped then Repainted it bby.

this shouldn't even be a question since adding onto our horrible looking usdm bumper is a waste of money. I have installed both and a jdm rear is the way to go.

i feel the lemming effect taking over this thread, ur obviously not doin this for performance aspects. basically dude if ur asking a question like this in a forum then most likely your doing it to try and impress others. so go for what everyone is gonna say looks best.
