Ali Express got me good. Item "shipped" then was delivered within about 8 days. Obviously no show on the diffuser. Reached out to the seller. Typical "lost in transit" explanation. I asked for a refund and they won't respond so now I've disputed the purchase. Anyone ever have luck with the process?

Oy, I documented my process here. Mine is a bit different since I received shitty product, but to summarize, I disputed, AliExpress asked for more evidence which I provided, they ruled in my favor, I returned, then seller escalated dispute, which basically reset the whole process. I ended up contacting Amex for a chargeback and they already issued it and closed the case. Now in my AliExpress account the order is “frozen” and they’re investigating again. As far as I’m concerned, the matter is closed as Amex gave me my money back already. I’ve heard AliExpress has closed accounts due to chargebacks, but I don’t really care if they do.

I had a similar experience but I continued to stay in touch with the seller. It took awhile but I received by diffuser on Friday.

Which seller did you purchase from?

The popular one. All "she" does is send the link showing it was delivered. Guess I'll have to try the chargeback route.

Resolution. I got a refund after pestering them every 4 hours. I'm 100% sure they never shipped it based on the timeline and the quick response of "Oh it must have gotten lost". Guess I'm gonna have to pony up for a US based order.

The front splitters obviously are not designed to fit with the OEM front lip, the gaps are there - I will most likely end up sourcing a set of OEM front splitters to replace them, however, the reps have fantastic fitment. All the replica parts do fit well and I have no complaints.
Where was this specific V-Style rear diffuser from? Looks great.

Where have people purchase their M performance carbon lip+ splitters? I see bulbxpert has one left. Can anyone report how fitment is from them? or any other seller for that matter

bulbxpert from what i've heard has very good quality for the price. there is cheaper but with some of them like ksline and their 100 dollar diffuser you are gambling. my buddy got a ksline and says it fit perfect and quality was excellent.

Even though its a gamble. you can buy the same part twice and still come out way ahead of OEM M Performance stuff.

My front lip/splitters will be here in a couple days from bulbxpert. Ordered a diffuser as well. 680 all together. For real M performance its 3500+ from iND for the same order.

Bulbxpert always says "one left" btw. It said that when i bought my stuff last week. Lots of ebay companies do this. "oh its the last one i better get it now!!"

Just wanted to give a quick update from KSLINE... I ordered front lip with splitter, v-style diffuser, side skirts and ducktail. the ducktail came but fitment seems a little off on the right side... theres a gap not sure if its my tape job or what.. gonna have to take it into the body shop once the rest of my parts come in. EVERYTHING else was supposed to come today.. but their shipper messed up and ended up shipping everything to washington. so if someone with the name R. Johannes is on the forum, you're welcome. Now I have to wait an additional 5-10 days for them to remake the parts and ship it out again to me.. its been about a month so far.

Got my M perf rep stuff in from bulbxpert. Haven't put anything on yet. I need to get hardware as well since that wasn't included. shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I'd say the quality is about 8/10

You can see on the driver side splitter on the top part the clear coat or finish seems kinda smudgy and rough. on the passenger side, the area that rests near the center grill has a cut that isn't perfectly straight i might need sand it down a mm or two.

Quality of the carbon is ok. some areas of the weave aren't a perfect pattern.

overall though these things are hard to see unless your face is up to it since its down by your feet. And for the money it can't be beat. If you want real stuff from iND its 3500 or more. I paid 670 lol. Again, i still have to test fit it though.

I would recommend for spoilers just to pony up the 1000 and get a real thing or a rep from a reputable store. Since that piece is eye level and you will see it more.

Actually after returning his I ended up with this one and the fitment is pretty much 10/10, I also didn't see any imperfections, I'll take some decent pics as the only two I have are from the night I installed it and they don't show much

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...2F113224626107

Anyways, congrats, hopefully your fitment is perfect, that lip seems to be manufactured right, the CS he sent me had zero mounting locations, it was literally a hollowed out brick.

Is that the regular diffuser or big diffuser from bulbxpert? Thanks!

My bulb xpert stuff didn't fit very well. Will contact seller for a refund. Rear diffuser had a gap at the bottom where it clips to the bumper trim piece. The OEM diffuser covers this. Driver side front splitter didn't fit well either. The passenger side fit perfect.

A few people have said that about the bulbxpert front splitters, IIRC.

I picked up these ones from Bayson R Motorsports and the fitment and weave were perfect. I have some pics in here, I think a couple pages back.
