Sorry to be OT, but how did your Eurorev CF diffuser come out? I ordered one and the first time it showed it was pretty poor quality. I sent it back over2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for a replacement.

The first one looked like it was laid up outside,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,while the wind was blowing. That and the uppermost edge above the right exhaust tips was actually cloudy. I'll be asking where the replacement is now. Not tryin' to hijack the thread, but I'll post what the replacement looks like when it shows if anybody wants to know. That or P.M. me.

Edit: They are aslo known as B870 motoring. Apparently they do not make the part, it's "sent out".

I wish I knew this before I ordered it. I drove down there personally and asked to see a sample. As you said, they say it is made elsewhere but he showed me an M3 CF lip as an example of the work quality. It looked fine and I kept saying "So you are SURE that it will be clean all around and be a clean install?" and they kept reassuring me it would be. Now Im all anxious to get down there. I hope it came out ok.

Sorry guys. The quality looks pretty good to me. It's not the best, but for the price I can't complain. Looks good on the car.

I know CF is expensive and I'm not looking for perfection, but for $300+ dollars delivered less than 75 miles away, it wasn't worthy of a $10K Honda, let alone a $100K AMG. The piece is very thin and to me it seemed to fit better over the original black plastic diffuser rather than as a replacement for it. Did you fit it over your diffuser, or peel the original off first?

Mine was fitted over the stock black plastic piece. It does seem a bit thin, and is not perfect for sure. I may take the rear one off because i'm not sure I like that piece in CF. Kinda preferred it in black.

??!!!!!!WHAT!!!??? They told me that it was the EXACT SAME size as the stock diffuser!!!!! I asked them OVER AND OVER that they were SURE that it didn't fit over the existing piece and that it was the EXACT SAME DIMENTIONS as the stock one! If its not exactly the same I'm demanding my deposit back. I'm pissed already and I haven't even seen it

Sorry for the hijack earlier

ok, i'm back in town and taking my thread back!

akara's diffuser looked really sweet at night. i didn't think you would even notice those, but I did.

I saw you on santa monica blvd on wla. car was sweet. you live around here? I wouldn't mind checking out your stereo... it would probably cost me $$
