Highest quality Carbon Fiber diffuser ?

I want to add a diffuser but I dont want to have any issues at all with the fit. Who has the highest quality one out there?

Thanks

Was there any issues fitting around the exhaust tips or weirdness during the install at all? Most of the pics I've seen look great. I'm planning on buying a new diffuser shortly.

I am looking for one also. Is Euroteck still selling them? I looked on their website but didn't see any.

Wasnt the Eurotek having fitment problems? I saw some guys posting after the group buy that they didnt fit perfect and they needed some work on them.

I just dont want to hack my car.

The Euroteck diffuser came with epoxied screws onto each corner. Several of us in the groupbuy removed them and used screws of different types to install the diffuser. Using some "force" to bend the diffuser so it would sit flush and screw/bolt down that corner and do the same for the other corner. I used self tapping screws to install mine.

Removed them or they broke? Regardless, that isn't "high quality" in my book.

You may not consider that high quality... I gues the right term is "best quality" because if you were to see the fitment and alignment on the cheaper pieces I don't think you'd be very satisfied at all if you're not impressed with eurotecks. For the OP, euroteck is hands down best available.

-1 Eurotech. Mine never fit right. Basically a zero tolerance fit. Add a bit of shrinkage and it was a nightmare.

SonicMS in Mountain View would not touch it. It could be they looked at me and figured I would insist on it fitting correctly.

I have a 3-fin CF diffuser from Gary@Sunveer that fits rather well.

You'll likely need to lower the mufflers by modifying the exhaust brackets (enlarging the bolt holes) to provide the ideal clearance between exhaust tips and diffuser.

I made my own by wrapping the stock diffuser with 3M Di-NOC matte carbon fiber. It's been about three years and still looks the same.

I've had a Euroteck on my '04 E55 for a few years and the adhesive doesn't seem to hold long. I should just run some screws in it and fix it myself but I may take it back to the body shop. Seems like it fits pretty well to me.

I really want one I just dont know if I should give the Eurotek a try. I wouldnt want to be turned down by bodyshops in my area.

Has anyone tried the Fabtech Performance diffuser?
