iCarbon Rear diffuser

Golden3ye · 05-03-2012, 12:13 PM

Look what just showed up at my door

Sylon · 05-03-2012, 12:19 PM

Congrats. I've been having fitment issues with mine, please let me know if you have the same.

Grayson · 05-03-2012, 12:38 PM

Looks great, bolt it up and get some pictures.

Everfly · 05-03-2012, 12:44 PM

Look great
I like 3 fins design

Golden3ye · 05-03-2012, 12:55 PM

just went on, took maybe 15 minutes, all the tabs and holes lined up perfect. I noticed when attaching the iCarbon one that the tabs didn't seem long enough to really pop in the way the stock diffuser was installed. Anyone who has installed an iCarbon one before find themselves in a similar situation?

Ooh very nice!

Thats the issue I'm having. The tabs are not "snapping" into place, they are not grabbing in the holes. My diffuser is on, and has been for a while now. But its not as secure as I would like it to be. Makes me worried about driving fast.

Here is the final product

EDIT - looks like a scratch in the middle, actually it is one of my cats hairs that must have transferred from my cloth to the car when I was wiping it down.

Satalite · 05-03-2012, 02:24 PM

Great looking diffuser! The 3 fins is definitely unique!

WPG D33Z · 05-03-2012, 03:24 PM

Looks great! Where did you order from?

Golden3ye · 05-03-2012, 03:36 PM

I got it from a board member who was parting out his leased car before turning it back in

Mike01ci · 05-04-2012, 11:59 AM

It looks great! I am glad it came out so nice.

When looking at it from eye level can you see your muffler? I sprayed the top of mine w/ flat black bbq paint b/c it drove me crazy.

JHOOPS2 · 05-04-2012, 12:26 PM

Very nice. I have the Matte finished version and the Matte Ducktail spoiler. i'm thinking really hard about clearing them though.

M3Newbie88 · 05-04-2012, 01:34 PM

Awesome.. one of the best looking diffusers out there

Mike Roberts · 05-06-2012, 03:12 AM

Am I right in thinking iCarbon have gone missing??

I'm looking for a front splitter (lip?) but can't find any resellers.

Thanks, I think it came out great. I can see the muffler when looking from eye level, might consider painting it black soon.

Wow I feel dumb, lol. Such a simple solution that never crossed my mind, lol. Where did you place it on the diffuser? Can it be seen or is it pretty hidden?

I cut it in half and placed a strip across the top, as far back as I could. If you look at it straight, at about 2 feet you can see the edge. I was just getting sick of walking up to my car and seeing the top part pushed out all the time.

Thats exactly what mine is doing. Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get back home in a few months. It sticking out was annoying, but I was more worried about it ripping off at high speeds.
