iCarbon vs Scopione Diffuser Picture Comparison

cooler2442 · 08-16-2011, 10:28 PM

I have the iCarbon Diffuser installed on my car which I recently acquired while I had my order in for the Scopione diffuser. Today the Scopione diffuser arrived so I decided to take some comparison pics to compare weave and quality.

Top is the iCarbon installed and bottom is the Scopione. They are 99% similar. I can really not tell the difference in the weave between them other than the 1 fin in the middle of the iCarbon. So your basically paying $900 vs $450 for 1 extra fin in the middle.

Well technically iCarbon is supposed to have parts back in stock in October.

looks like scorpione is the way to go

red@9k · 08-17-2011, 05:16 AM

you are paying the brand

Both companies make there products overseas and both will turn yellow within time.

Scorpione gives you the right price for what you are buying. icarbon is over priced due to the fact you really are not getting quality from it.

Can you take pics from a little farther away?

Honny · 08-17-2011, 06:53 AM

Can't really tell the difference between the two, Why not just get the cheaper one?

Scopione's right on the money - have to pick one up when they have some in stock.

I took up close pics so you can see the difference in quality. Far away pics won't show anything since you can't see weave quality far away.

Sucks that both of these can not compare to the OEM BMW quality. i guess you get what you pay for. I have the icarbon one.

I do not have an OEM BMW performance diffuser to compare to but I have seen HP Autowerk's Slek 1M front lip in person and the quality of the weave blows away any other one I have seen. That one is made in America and it shows. But Slek does not make any 135i parts yet.

made it america or not. it doesn't matter where it's made. it's all about quality control and thats basically what we pay for. and yes slek quality is nice. I shot the photos.

Since I received a few PM's about installing, I used this DIY/Guide to help install it:

How far? Don't have anything else taken atm but the other thread already has one a bit further away.

adrean8j · 08-21-2011, 07:17 AM

Sorry I meant the comparison of the two installed from far away.
