Aftermarket Rear Diffuser's Thread (pictures+discussion)

[Rothgarr]

I've seen slight variations in the diffuser -- I, too, thought they were all the same at first. I've seen the one you have, with the indentations for the screws -- mine doesn't have that. I do wish I had purchased mine from China, rather than California -- I suspect mine would fit a little better (probably the one you got).

True - I did not notice that your diffuser did not have the indentations for the screws. They are probably an inch or two deep - that area is well off the original bumper and there is a bit of a pillar there to attach to the bumper. I assume they screwed into the black plastic or some specific area to help with the mounting.

Here's the final install with the screws. I really love this diffuser.

Did you only use tape? Mine only came with tape and I wound up using four screws to keep it nice and tight against the bumper. There are a number of bumpers that look similar to this and I'm sure they are not all made by the same Chinese company -- some probably fit better than others.

Before COVID, there was a local group buy in Hong Kong, we purchased 20+ kit. The kit was so fit, the owner's team could install a whole kit in an hour.

happen to have any pictures? Or anyone in here for that matter. I’m close to pulling the trigger on Z-arts kit but it’s pricey compared to the rest

^ now is 2022, there are a lot of choice out there. I have upgraded mine to dry carbon from other Chinese supplier, which is better and more pricy.

Good stuff. In your opinion is the Zart worth the $2100 they are charging for wet carbon fiber? Or should I get another wet carbon fiber one for 1400

 

[asian_xl]

wet carbon might suffer wrinkles after car wash and rain. Vorenstein style body kit looks good, but you can't really go to a lot of place which might crack your lip. If you want to stick with this body kit, I would go for wet carbon lip (cheapest as possible), then dry carbon for the other pieces.

@Gasaraki - search is your friend.

Plenty of info on this and the US and Canadian, and UK branches of Maxton Design. Their v1 and v2 front lips, side skirts, rear diffuser and side spats.... material/finish options and install procedures.

Have you heard of cross-border and trans-Atlantic freight shipping by boat or cargo plane? Some of the first kits that made it to this side of the pond during early COVID were shipped this way and installed back last Winter, Spring 2020.

Jesus, you sound like a gigantic **** from this thread alone.

Maxton Design - subtle but that’s what i needed. View attachment 636860

Hey bro, do you have any more photos from different angles and better lighting? I love how subtle this looks, but need to see more detail.

I had the authentic Vorsteiner rear. Wondering if its too aggressive and debating between sticking with the Vorsteiner or going with the CMST one:

Horrendous. I had to use a heat gun to mould it into shape but it worked out okay in the end.
