New big fin diffuser

Came across this big fin diffuser while browsing ebay.
What do you guys think?

It doesn't look bad but if I had a Vorsteiner diffuser on my car I wouldn't even consider getting an ebay one. Different levels of quality.

If you do want to change, sell your Vorsteiner and go with Arkym - the CF diffuser costs 1249USD I think

Wasn't thinking of selling the Vorsteiner. I like the aggressive looks of it though.

Even if I wanted to sell mine I would have a hard time letting it go, haha.
I do however love the look of the ARKYM diffuser.

Thanks for sharing this. I really like it. If fitment was real good I would get it. I've always wanted a big fin diffuser for this car.

Edit: Just looked at it again. The price is real low. So, I'm a little skeptical that it's real C/F. I would just want the weave to match the C/F hood that I'm putting on my car. I would actually prefer a big fin diffuser made from a hard plastic of some kind.

What does that mean? It's not like a wrap, right? Probably some compound that is poured and maybe pressed onto plastic of something?

A friend of mine has bought a diffuser through this dealer on Ebay like 6 months ago ,

CF still the same , no fades and no color change !

Basically like a mold of the diffuser wrapped in carbon fiber material. Though i could be wrong.

Definitely looks like a cool option. I'm glad you posted this.

Personally, I don't like the idea carbon fiber wrap. But, perhaps they can manufacture this diffuser in just plain black. I'm thinking about contacting them and seeing what's possible.

The description states 'real carbon fiber material'. I guess that could both be a full CF product or a 'real' overlay.

Will order one today and install it in 7-9 days when it arrives in Europe.

Pictures and write-up to follow.

I am also interested. Look forward to seeing pics.
There is also this one that looks very similar http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...#ht_3853wt_941
The picture of the diffuser on the car is different to the other pictures though

Just a quick follow up. The vendor confirmed that it's a 100% carbon fiber product.

Diffuser is shipping tomorrow.

Will keep you posted.

Package just arrived from Taiwan:





Initial impression is that this is a solid product. The weave is consistent and the surface complete free of bumps etc. Don't know if we'll have any fitment issues - time will tell.

Total price incl. shipping just over USD300 and took 4 days from Thailand to Europe. Vendor was extremely service minded and answered all of my 6 emails within hours of receiving them.

More pictures to follow after installation.

Glad to hear it's good quality KEMA.
Did you have to pay taxes or customs?

Post pics once the diff is fitted
