Has anyone installed or purchased this rear diffuser. Really like the looks. Im curios about quality and fitment.

Many members have installed the VIS rear diffuser. I have one on my car. There was a group buy thread a couple years ago; I got mine through that group buy. The fitment is great; although I had to use a bit of JB-Weld on either side for the wings that curl under the rear fenders. For the rest, only the 3m tape was needed.

The quality is excellent; no bubbles or cracks that I could see (even today); uniform color and a clean (no burrs) form. It is very light and not over done with fiberglass and epoxy like many (if not most) aftermarket cf parts.

So you haven't experienced any yellow-ish tint on your diffuser? Other than the price, that's the thing that makes me hesitant on doing that upgrade.

kb, no I haven't noticed any discoloration. Since you mentioned it, I'll check it specifically for that this evening.
