IDK about these. I'm in the market for one and the 2nd "customer" picture as described by the seller is not theirs but rather a photo shoot from Eisenmann in Germany I think. I've seen this picture around months ago when I was buying my exhaust. To put this in perspective the 3D diffuser is something like 1500$ and when iCarbon was around it was 800$ or so. Don't be surprised if there are issues with diffuser for 277$

You could always do what I did. Lots of measuring + much more measuring + a steady hand + lots of patience =

Is that just a modified stock bumper? How long did that take to do?

Yup, just modified my OEM diffuser. Took about 2 hours and that was due to my need to measure things over and over =P You have no room for error.

Process is simple though. Make a template of your driver side on the inside with the diffuser removed from the car. Once you have the template trace it out on the inside of the passenger side. Check it and measure until you feel comfortable it's right. Also check the positioning of your pipes compared to your measurements.

When you're ready to cut, whatever you do ... DON'T cut right on your traced lines. Cut about an inch inside. It should just barely fit but be pretty even all around. If you right on you can trim the rest or make adjustments as you need. Then file it to clean everything at the end.
