CarbonSS 3 Pcs diffuser

First of all it is real carbon fiber. About what weave it has I really can't say squat as I really haven't got a clue.
It came nice packed, delivered at my door step. Alot of bubble wrap around each part and around.

Guys...
When we talk about aftermarket brand names that we haven't heard of, we are always afraid.
Fit & finish can't be right if we don't pay past 2k for aftermarket carbon parts.
Friends? ( Those of you that think/ soon thought that way ) I have to announce that Iam gonna proof you wrong with this one.
Fit and finish -> awesome ( no install probs whatsoever ) Installation 2 hours because I wanted extra gorilla glue on every tap screw, where the bumper met the diffusor and I wanted perfection. No halfazzing when it goes about my car and modding it.
Carbon fiber -> original carbon fiber and it benefits the whole appearance of the car giving it an even more aggressive zombie-hooker-raper-look
Guys if you can live with an 3 piece diffusor, don't think twice CarbonSS is the freaking shizznit!

CarbonSS isn't a brand... its an Ebay knockoff of the Vorsteiner that was cut into 3 pieces to make shipping more economical.

I'm a dual citizen and you're still not funny...

maybe you should take a look on ebay and take note of the 50 other "brands" that also market the exact same 3 piece diffuser from a Chinese replica shop as their own.

Iam not your clown buddy and my freaking intension isn't to make you laugh.
Iam not here to discuss anything with you.
I came around an out of the world fitment piece wich also is real carbon and looks and feels badass.
I know how hard it is to find such parts and vendors and thats why I want anyone to benefit out of my experience.
Next guinea pig experimental purchase ( doing it for the team )
will be their carbon sideskirts and later on front spoiler performance style.
Will also let you all know about them.

So $480 shipped if you get 2 buyers, right?

I guess that's not a bad gamble on some knock off if the fitment is legit
