Carbon fiber diffuser options

wanofakind01 · 09-23-2017, 03:26 PM

Like the title says, haven't been able to find too many alternatives from the m performance cf diffuser. I have the OEM cf tips on the MPE. Any other options people would recommend?

Yes, I've searched and manually looked through quite a few photo threads (daily visitor here).

Don't forget Ebay! Half the cost! Same performance and look!

I don't know why I think the stock one wrapped would look nice. I like the cut outs along the top

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Has anyone done this? I think it's really the only cheezy looking thing on the whole car. I've never wrapped anything myself, but I'd like to give it a try.

I'd think it would have to come off the car to do a proper job.

My favorite is the M-Performance one but Akrapovic also makes a nice one that is available in either gloss or matte carbon.

JLX · 09-26-2017, 10:24 PM

MTC also makes a nice one, I quite like it without the rear side skirts they also offer

Why is that? Bad quality ?

When people say "ebay ones", they're referring to the replica parts usually from China.

In terms of 'appearance' their parts usually look pretty good to the original, not perfect but good for the money.

The downfall always seems to be the fitment. Parts rarely seem to clip in properly.

You might get away with something like a spoiler, but if a part required clipping in (eg. diffuser) it's unlikely to sit flush. It will pi$$ you off and then you'll spend more buying the genuine part.

A big red flag for me is when these so called ads pinch images from the vendors on here.... run a mile unless you see their own photos... even then it's hard to judge fitment.

I'm probably going to stick with my stock diffuser and give it a makeover. I like the RKP variant a lot, but shipping fees make it a no go for me.

Bought mine and it looks great ! Minor adjustment on the passenger side clip... I attached the 8mm nuts and a small 3m tape and looks way better ... only pain in the ass was taking it apart ( center tabs) installation was a breeze
