If you want to be a hero to the forum and try out a new vendor, go for it.

If he's offering higher-end pieces also, you may be okay, but we won't know until someone guinea-pigs it.

If fitment is 100% and the weave is straight, it would be worth more than $350 shipped. As you're taking a gamble, I can't really recommend paying more than that. See if the vendor will work out a deal with you pending a review on the site.

Sure, currently working 300 shipped and look what he counter offered me. He said his piece is 100% cf not fiber glass whatsoever. He countered me 440 shipped because he said quality here is different. So confuse now, damn diffuser.

Getting ready to buy ebay 3 fins one but then realize about the opening for the exhaust. The seller said its about 16-17cm but my Meisterschaft is 2x83mm or around 16.6cm and I'm afraid it won't fit or fit but touching each other

If it was 100% carbon fiber, as in it uses a CF core rather than another composite like fiberglass, I would expect it to cost more.

If it is truly 100% CF, the price seems to be very good at the more expensive price point as long as the fitment is spot-on.

Mad thread bump.

Appreciate all the photos!
I also upgraded my stock diffuser and went with one of those EBay sellers... ended up negotiating down to GBP$200, which is about AUD$380 (or USD$255)

Photos attached.
Happy with it, can't complain at this price point!

PS> Personally prefer the 3fin one, think it looks more aggressive... but wasn't able to source one
