A quad diffuser isn't a sound financial investment for any company right now. Almost no one is going quad exhaust. They would have to pay to make a mold and invest a good amount of money when maybe 5% of total diffuser sales or less would go towards a quad since everyone would want this one instead. The best financial return on investment for Scoprione will be this diffuser and then some type of front lip and maybe a hood/trunk with good fitment.

Before iCarbon disappeared, they had already put their quad diffuser on clearance and I heard they wouldn't be making any more due to low demand.

You can ask a shop to do the same thing with your iCarbon, just find a really reputable custom body shop and they can do it for you np.

They should send me some black mesh for free... Anywho, I am going to buy some good quality mesh in both black and for when I am feeling froggy, red. I want it powder coated or whatever that rubber wrapping method is so that it lasts. I spray painted this aluminum mesh and it just comes right off and does not look that great, here are some pics.

Also, does my 135i badge look crooked? It is 100% perfectly level with the ground which was 100% perfectly level as well but to me it seems crooked.

Hmmmm the red is interesting, I am 50/50 on it since you would really need to see it in person to judge.

The 135i badge does look like the 1 is higher than the 3,5,i.

While the 135i is probably level with the ground, the trunk isn't level...it slants. I think you need to run the numbers parallel to the slant of the trunk, not to the ground .

Guess the red is going pretty quickly, probably tomorrow. Knew it was going to be iffy at best. If this was a Honda it'd be win all day long. All kidding aside I knew as soon as I put it on that it was going to illicit this type of response. Anyway, I'll post pics tomorrow with black mesh.

Red is terrible.

You are kind to be as nice as you are when talking about the ViS stuff. The stuff I got from them was as C- IMHO... then again I am a picky bastard.

Diffuser is nice for the price, but I'll wait till I can get the BMW piece.

No to the red, so ugly. The badge has to be rotated ever so slightly counter clockwise.

No, because the bumper does not have the cut-out for the diffuser.

Yup next batch will have black mesh but it is 4-6 weeks out and you have to pre order it before it comes or the price switch's to the regular price.

Yeah I understood that much. I just want to see it with black mesh first, I might have some special ideas with this piece since its cheaper than the others theres some room to play with what I want to do and still be $300-200 less than an Icarbon Piece.
