Here are some pics of the diffuser itself. It won't be going on the car anytime soon, partially due to the fact that my car has a 1/4" coating of ice on it at the moment. The weather here has been pretty crappy, so I'm gonna wait.

Looks really nice. How's the weave? Any imperfections?
Still trying to figure out which way to go with this, and I've just had an email saying that one I'd looked at has been re-listed on ebay with more stock. |

The weave is very nice. There is one imperfection in the clear coat, along the top above the cutout for the exhaust. Its hard to see it though. |

Might have to pull the plug on one of these soon.
Has anybody done a weight comparison yet? I'd be interested to know if there's any weight reduction, or if the carbon diffuser is heavier because of the metal mesh. Sure, it won't be much, but it'd be interesting to know. |

Nice, I'd be interested to see how the spoiler fits.
Out of interest, can you get close up pics of the CF weave around the curved edges above the mesh either side? From the pics of a lot of these diffusers it looks like the weave gets narrower/closer together around this part? Oh, and I agree, your car looks great with the diffuser and LCI rears. |

Just made this purchase today. I hope it was a wise one. Either way I'm looking forward to getting it installed. |

Let us know what you think of it as I was looking at that same one and tried looking through their reviews left hoping someone who bought it talked about the fitment of the rear diffuser, but nobody had as of last week.

Yeah, I was searching for the same answers to the fitment question in the reviews too, I found nothing. I figured for the price it's worth giving it a shot. I'll post pics as soon as I get it installed. It wont be till week after next till I get around to it. I'll be on a business trip all next week.

I still haven't installed that diffuser I posted up there. Weather hasn't been great here lately. Hopefully, this weekend or next.

FWIW, I bought the Scopione rear diffuser about a year ago and had mine installed by a local shop after a couple hours of struggling with it. The tabs were just not going into place like the factory one. When I got it back and it was all installed correctly I asked the shop what I was doing wrong and they said nothing, the tabs were a bit off and they had to do some shaving and manipulating to get everything to fit. They told me not to beat myself up over it, it was a bitch lol.
Anyway, for those of you who have this ordered or waiting to be installed, just a heads up for you that this could be the case for yours too. On the bright side, it's still on with no problems and it looks 1000% better that that cheap looking stock piece. I still can't believe that BMW would put that on our cars.
