**********s' oem style carbon diffuser

wa128 · 10-25-2011, 02:20 PM

Anyone installed the OEM style carbon fiber rear diffuser offered by **********s? How is the quality? Fitment issues? Installation issues? Not aggressive looking (no fins) like other aftermarket diffusers. But I like it understated and the price ($300+) is hard to beat.

just get the ebay one from JCsportline.
Alot of people are ordering from them. Approx 350 shipped, and has the fins (identical to the other aftermarket ones)

I'm kind of leery to buy stuff off ebay. I'd rather buy from one of our forum's regular vendors.

The **********s diffuser is the same design as the OEM plastic one except it's wrapped in carbon fiber and has a mesh grille in the top half cutout. No fins which I know a majority likes. Not as sporty looking but I think it's kind of classy.

Jcsportline is out of diffusers I think.

Other option is Scopione for 399$. They have customer service and etc but they do not use these forums.

I 've seen **********s' CF spoilers and they seem to be good quality, both the weave and the clearcoat. Don't know about the diffuser, but if the spoiler is any indication, you shouldn't have any issues with it.

The Scopione piece is a nice one. I thought about that one but I read someone had to sand down the locking tabs on the top edge as they were too wide to fit the bumper's retaining clips. Granted I know nothing about possible fitment issues of the **********s piece - I'd be going in blind on this one.

Yup on Scopione you will either get a perfect one or one where you have to sand down the tabs which is a 15minute job with just some sandpaper.

Cant complain about fitment when you buy 300-400$ carbon fiber pieces.

Maybe someone from **********s, if they are reading this thread, might care to comment on this particular product. I spoke with one of their reps today. He said it's a relatively newer product being sold.
