Non-CF Diffuser

Xiaoxi · 04-02-2016, 09:39 PM

Getting some Fabspeed parts put in for the exhaust and figured I might as well upgrade the diffuser while I'm at it.

Please post your favorite non-CF (preferrably matte black) aftermarket diffusers.

Leaning toward the M Performance right now but curious to see what else is out there.

The one I covet is the autoplus rear diffuser, but I've never seen it unpainted.

It seems like the shape of if doesn't "diffuse" anything... just a decor...

I PM'd another forum member with questions regarding the state of the Autoplus diffuser and was told that it must be painted. In its raw state i gather it is not usable and has to be painted. M perf is probably your best bang for the buck if looking at matte blk.

You're probably right, the angle is too vertical, certainly more so than the M performance rear diffuser, but I do like how it looks, and it doesn't seem like it would be any worse than the stock one (since it mostly looks like they took the stock diffuser and add embellishments). But ya, as far as creating more down force, it's probably marginal at best.

I just find the M performance one to look so bland, and all the others seem to be high-priced CF ones.
