Had shared these previously in another thread discussing rear spoilers, figured I would post for anyone looking for OEM alternative.

Before and After followed with some different angles. Sorry for the shots during snow storm, car was clean for a day (lol BSM) so wanted to take pics of the diffuser with clean tail.

Kies motorsports m4-inspired spoiler goes well with this diffuser IMO, the notches have some synergy which is pleasing to my eyes.

Installer was concerned about fitment and said if pressure was applied on top the tabs could pop out. I tried doing this by hand and was unable to, so feeling more confident with it.

Nice, I like it. The CF does a nice job of breaking up the dark color and highlights the the diffuser design.

Looks great, same one I'm planning to get. I currently have their dry CF grill surrounds and front bumper trim installed and love them.

Quick update. Top left corner of the diffuser started piping out slightly after a few days of normal driving. I simply popped it back into place, but can tell that is going to get old if I don't come up with a better solution.

Snowed today, wasn't able to take a look underneath. Only reason I had it installed by the body shop was the OEM was so snug I thought I would break my trim removing it. I'll see if there's something wrong with the installation and then call AutoTecknic for their opinion/support.

Will keep you all posted.

I have the same issue with my grill surround from them. It's very minor and only I can notice it but it's annoying AF.

Looks great! Might be a good alternative for some folks while the AA Concepts diffuser is out of stock.

Thanks, I think it looks really good. My goal was to keep close to OEM look with a few subtle differences to stand out. Once I swap my front reflectors out and do a full detail I will be posting full build photos.
