Carbon rear diffuser.
Well with some hesitation I installed a carbon rear diffuser. I decided to buy a high quality one. Well I am not sure it was worth the $ or not as fitting it was a major pita. Looks good though.
So I'm not sure if the shop I got this from put the logo on off center or if the manufacturer is just that sloppy. It would be nice if they would have centered it..........

Love that diffuser. Is it an authentic Vorsteiner? Either way I'd just take the sticker off.

Ya that sucker is on there. Chinese welded that sucker on there. I will get my heat gun out and attempt it again later. 😎
Looks good but it does not just "pop on there". It required bumper cover removal and a lot of trial and error.

My personal opinion. Take if off and sell it before it cracks.
My Vorsteiner never did fit flush and took 3 body shops to put on. It was constantly popping off and one day, I hit a pot hole and put a crack in the bottom. Reason was there is 0 flex in the diffuser and was extremely tight. Not worth repairing or selling damaged. Sorry Vorsteiner, no thanks.

I personally have done a TON of body work and have installed many aftermarket parts on a lot of cars. Fitting the diffusor was a major PITA and it is far from just installing it like a factory part. I will say 100% that most body shops are completely unqualified to do that type of work as it actually takes skill and above all patience. You have to trim, test fit, and repeat until it goes on properly. You also MUST remove your rear bumper cover to install.
For what these parts sell for it should already be trimmed and ready to go. Sadly that is not the case. I do like how it looks on the car and it sure makes the rear look great. I have a factory carbon package also so for me it was worth the time it took to install it.
