JCSportline v BMW diffuser

[ken1137]

This is a quick review for those curious about the JCSportline diffuser available on eBay. I decided to add this thread because I purchased the JCSportline diffuser last month (made in China) and recently purchased a used BMW Performance Diffuser.

Differences:

JCSportline - very inexpensive ($325 from China).
BMW - better weave, fewer defects, better netting, and better tabs.
Note - It will be very difficult to tell the difference between the two from any distance when mounted.

Pics:
No visual differences from a distance:

Conclusion: I dont think you can go wrong with the JCSportline diffuser due to the price ($325 to $375) from China. That said, I am keeping the BMW diffuser and I sold the JCSportline diffuser because I'm not certain if it will discolor over time. I purchased the BMW diffuser at a discount since it was used and lucky me it's in excellent condition which was another factor in my decision.

Note: I purchased the JCSportline diffuser after reading this thread:

Update: I mounted the BMW CF diffuser and as expected the fit was perfect. No bending, no manipulation of the part, and all tabs fit perfectly. Took only 5 min to remove the stock diffuser and mount the CF diffuser.

^^ great review.. for the price you can beat it.. depends what you do with your car.. if you drive it like no tomorrow the JCSportline would be a good choice.. if you place to keep the car and the mods for a long time you cant go wrong with BMW branded or any well known brands out there.

I'm not installing the JCSportsline diffuser...I'm selling it. Check the link at the bottom of thread, that link will provide you with an idea regarding fitment. I ran into the Chinese Holiday so delivery was about month.

I know that I am reviving a dead thread. But I'm curious to know how these parts have held up over time. Has there been any discoloration or any issues at all?

Has anyone bought from CN Autofans? Both of these are popular CF parts alternatives to BMW's.

Here is my original post in 2011: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...&postcount=200

Car is driven in salty Northeast winters. Diffuser looks the same as when new. No cracking, discoloration or any issues at all.

Thanks. That's good to know. I've bought non OEM body parts in the past and there usually is an issue with them in some way.
