Just bought a CF diffuser form JBspeed, great price

I just bought a CF diffuser JBspeed had advertised in the Classifieds section. The price was atleast $100 lower then the cheapest price on Ebay. He's a forum sponser and I see people have bought other items from him. Anyway the only thing that sounded weird (and maybe nothing) was the way it attached. He told me that it comes with 3m double sided tape and that's how it gets installed. I could have sworn that I read them being installed with screws and brackets and such.... does this sound weird to anyone else or is this normal? Also, if anyone knows where I can purchase quad exhaust tips to fill the large openings of the diffuser let me know..thanx

the 63 diffuser or the regular diffuser?

if it's the 63 diffuser they should be clipped on and have the use for bracket like the one Arius/MNL ICE has on his 63.

if it's the regular diffuser it might be the one you see on Ron Jr's car which he attached it with 3m over the existing diffuser.

btw, send you a PM

from the picture I did not see any tabs on the top, but I do see the holes where you are suppose to rivet the brackets for the 63 diffuser.

I'll be guessing the top will be used with the 3M tapes and the two bracket will still be used. still hard to tell tho. post some pics when you receive it.

Yea the CF diffuser I got off ebay was beautiful but didn't have the same tabs as the OEM C63 diffuser so I had to drill a couple screws in mine (black so it's not even noticeable).

usually the difference is in thickness and weight. some will use more resin some will use less. too much resin or bad resin used can result in yellowing of the resin. good resin will always be crystal clear. as long as it fits the way you want it's all that matters.

these should all be wet CF products. if it's wrapped it will be very heavy since they have to use the original parts in order to wrap it. not really cost efficient either.

Yessir. Only thing it requires is to be drilled in. Not clips to hold it in so I used 4 screws (black small ones) and drilled two on each side to hold it in. I'll take pics when I can but its not noticeable. I must say it looks beautiful tho, all I need now is the lip.
