i'll wait until i can confirm a refund with bulbxpert on monday. Then look into bayson r. although it looks like their diffuser is just a cover and not a replacement piece.

might have to just wait and look for a used m performance kit to ensure 10/10 fitment

They are actually pretty good with returns. I live in CA and went to their warehouse in diamond bar and got it exchanged right there.

thats good to hear

I printed the USPS return label through ebay today. Turns out USPS wont accept my return because the package he sent them in is too big lol. (bulbxpert sent it to me via Fedex). So i had to take my ass down to fedex and pay 100 to have it shipped back... hopefully he covers some of that cost. i think 50% is more than fair. i'll keep you guys updated.

going to purchase an M performance lip and Autotechnik diffuser.



edit: no refund on the return shipping

Regarding shipping, I was in the same boat but ended up paying ~$11 at Fedex to ship it back, sorry to hear

I wouldn't expect a refund on you shipping it back. $100 is an insane price to pay at FedEx.

you can check prices yourself. Missouri to cali. the box is 75in. in length due to the splitter being so long, a few inches wide, and maybe 1.5 feet tall. and 10-15 pounds probably.

I could have probably done it cheaper if I got two separate boxes. I would blame bulbxpert for that. Why send a product in a box that you know is not able to be returned? lol he shipped it to me by fedex, and the return labels were USPS.

Asked him if he would at least cover 50%, he said no.

I can tell you ive never had a problem like this with iND.

Hell yes! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I was having a hard time justifying spending $400+ on front splitters that are likely to get scraped up. These should do thew job perfectly. In fact, I might even pickup 2 sets to keep one set as a spare.

Thanks!

I'd suggest no one buy from BatStyling Store. I'll most likely purchase the diffuser from HSPEED KSLINE as they seem to be providing a much better product.
I have one last (hopefully) update in my AliExpress diffuser saga- I doubt anyone here follows or cares but will still share anyway.

American Express issued a full chargeback to me, meanwhile the seller rejected the return shipment so it's on its way back here. So it looks like I got a free, poor-fitting 3pc diffuser

I wonder if I can find a use for it...

So. Finally got around to having my rear diffuser installed from AliExpress. I had a local body shop do the install as I didn't feel like crawling under the car. $80. I'm overall very happy with the product and it's way cheaper then the real thing.

Thanks. It took awhile to get it but it was worth it. Now I need a trunk spoiler to finish off the rear. I like the CS style.

Debating between these two on eBay

Do they sell the side pieces, the m4 I've recenly purchase came with factory carbon, but it's missing the side components as you have to complete the carbon fiber look.

I'm not sure if they sell them separately. Try contacting them. They make these to order so they might sell the side pieces without the center diffuser.

Looking good! I'm happy with the fitment of mine as well. Tiny space between center and side extension but not noticeable. I ended up ordered Ksline's headlight cf eyebrows and a high kick rear spoiler. Want to change up my m performance. I recently installed the eyebrows and the quality and fitment were great.

Looking good also. Love the black bomber. My 2016 was BSM.

I ordered a CS style Spoiler on eBay $150. Should be here early September

I ordered a rep M performance carbon fiber lip and splitter set from the link below

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F173608211822

Fitment was very good and the carbon weave was 8/10 for a replica.

Can't complain for $400
