Rear diffuser V1 or V2 - Front bumper opinion

I need some help on making a decision.

I have a blue slate and I looking at getting a rear diffuser, but cannot decide between AK V1 and AK V2 from autokitsx. I tried looking for Blue Slate with either but can barely find any good pics. Your opinion is greatly appreciate it.

I am also really thinking at changing by front bumper(IPL way too common nowadays) with a my old sport with a molded TS-P lip from autokitsx, but I have read some people had some fitting issues. I think, since I will be moldding onto the bumper there should not be much of a problem. Any comments/opinions/criticism is appreciated.

Seriously..... The idea is to mold the TS-P Lip onto the bumper, not just put on with double sided tape and screws......

I say go for the molded TS-P lip. Looks the best IMO. Also, I'd go with the V2 diffuser. And your front plate is fine.

I have the ts lip right now on my bumper, but I am thinking about switching to IPL... Or just a bumper with everything attached. After pepboys messed up my lip, I just want a new bumper.

V2 looks a lot better for diffuser.

Also where did you get your trunk spoiler from? Does it have the camera hole as well?

Was the fit on the lip bang on?

After searching some more and finding some more pictures and V2 diffuser seems to be the consensus as the better choice.

The spoiler is the OEM sport with the camera hole.

I believe Seraphix has the V1. He also has a Blueslate and it looks nice and clean. Its painted to match so its not as noticeable. Look him up, stunning ride.

Ditto, I prefer the v1, just cause it looks more cleaner, and the extra vent under the licence plate for the v2 is pretty random?. IMO?

v1 = simply clean v2= aggressive. your call!.

Ive always driven past that TD location and commended your G. I have the exact same set up as you plus the V2.I went with the V2 because of the IPL bumper being so aggressive and the aggressive wheels im running. Check your PM

thank you sir....that's exactly what I was thinking, thus I decided to go with the V2. Just purchased one from a member here, cannot wait for the snow to go away and put it on.
