WTB: Rear Diffuser!!!
I tried my luck on an ebay diffuser... and of course its a POS! The quality is horrible and the fitment is even worse, moral of the story is you get what you pay for. So if anyone has/knows of a decent single exhaust diffuser (preferably carbon and vented) for an E88/82, please let me know. Willing to pay for shipping. Thank You! |

which one did you buy?
I bought a carbon fiber quad diffuser from speed-motoring and it had solid fitment. Only one screw on the bottom was slightly off. |

However, I just spent an hour with a blow dryer and used a metal rod with a tennis ball on the end for pressure. Held the diffuser where I wanted it (aligned correctly/ flush) heated the diffuser and let it completely cool while constantly holding the pressure... Took of the metal rod and ball combo that was applying the pressure. And tadaaa it looks perfect. So I'm kinda happy about it now. Until the cheap Chinese POS cracks or breaks within the next year or two lol I'll post a picture if anyone would like to see the finished product or how I did it if they would like to try on theirs, if they run into the same issue or want to fix their current one. |

any diffuser you buy (as long as you buy a decent one) wont need molding, mine was just poorly made. |

Thanks. The clips everyone talks about are at the top part of the diffuser where it meets the bumper I assume? Push in on the bumper and pull the diffuser at the same time? |

yeah man, honestly if you have 10 minutes and are bored and wanna see how it fits just unscrew the 6 bolts (7 or 8mm i cant remember) on the stock diffuser and just slowly start to pull on one end of the diffuser and work your way to the other side popping loose the tabs. and dont worry you're not gunna hurt it. and that will give you the full understanding of how everything works and of course then put it back on lol. super easy

Granted it totally defeats the purpose if it doesn't look good, but it'd be nice to find something for $800 that is better than the eBay crap, but cheaper than OEM. |
