How do you actually fit the piece, do you bolt it on with screws, rivets or glue? What's the price gonna be like?

The installation of this part is by far my favorite thing. It is so easy. In fact it comes with no hardware, you re use the OEM factory plstic screws that are currently holding on a black plastic shield where the spare tire would be under the car. Then the part that goes against the bumper is on with double sided tape just like the stock black plastic is on with. (this part get removed from the car).

Probably not, you would just need the rear bumper. But unless you really fall in love with it................ lol

Thank you so much for all your hardwork! Keep me posted. I'll even donate my spoiler if necessary.

LOL!!!! I know! you may hate it when u see it! Doubt that will happen. Price will be in the $650 range. We often do introductory pricing when we release a part. So it is very possible.

No problem. But next time you say "very very soon," you better do a bit better than 2 weeks homey.

...and if I've never said it, love you GT3. White is perfect.

haha, considering how long this project is taking, 2 weeks would have still be considered very very soon. This week you should see pics...

Thanks btw. I loved the GT3, but i actually just sold it. Need to update the sig. I got an 08 600hp Viper to replace it.

Having seen Euroteck's diffuser first hand, you honestly can't even compare them. Look at the Vaeth diffuser, why are the "wings" not connected to the rest of the diffuser? That looks rediculous IMO. Euroteck's design is somewhat similar, but the diffuser is one-piece carbon fiber, similar to the SL63 diffuser. It looks like it could've been made by AMG, unlike this one:



Look at how the "wings" are connected to the diffuser. Besides looking ridiculous, it will probably give you more lift in the rear and make the car less stable. Where is that supposed to direct airflow ? I'm not even going to mention the ugly bolts or the astronomic price (~$2,000) of that thing...

thanks addicted
but I can make my own decisions ...

Neil said he had pics just not in CF, I'm just curious of the overall shape ... how much do the wings stick out ... etc.
