New Vorsteiner rear carbon diffuser

Just had the carbon diffuser installed. Wanted the matching front lip as well but it's not available yet. Goes well with the matte

Vorsteiner diffuser takes out the foot kick open trunk function, also did you run into any fitment problems with yours? The left side of the diffuser on mine has fitment issues

Looks great, but losing the kick-open function would be a deal killer for me as I use it all the time.

Funny I did not know about foot trunk opening on this car. What exactly is removed or is it a matter of sensor being covered?

This is what the aftermarket world needs to consider when they make parts for luxury car brands. You can't release a product that removes functionality. A carbon fiber diffuser on a Honda Accord would cost half the price, so you wonder why the luxury car brand part costs more? Well, the argument should be that they have extra obstacles to overcome when they make the part and test it. That doesn't seem to be the case here and that's exactly why this thing won't sell as much as it should.

^^^^
Not to hijack the thread but the trunk kick is a hit or miss for me. Where do you folks place your feet to activate this 100% of the time? Middle of where the diffuser would be?
