Need help finding diffuser

I really like the vorsteiner f80 rear diffuser and was going to order one, but found out it is a 1x1 weave, all my carbon parts are a 2x2 weave, for those of you that have a similar diffuser like the vorsteiner but in 2x2 weave help me out. I know they will be replica but I am looking for the best fit and finish for the replica ones, I have looked at several rw carbon, jl carbon, virez and there is something off about them in the pictures, but if you have them or other diffusers please let me know, thanks in advance.

Have you considered the RKP rear diffuser? It is available in both 1x1 and 2x2.

I have never seen a replica diffuser that looked perfect; especially the Vorsteiner reps. The shape is too complex and usually the cheapo ones look bad near the corners. It's hard to get right. Even Vorsteiner themselves screw it up some times.

The best quality and fitment I've seen are the big name brands like M-Performance, RKP, 3D Design. Wavvy carbon fiber makes the whole car look cheap. I'd take poly urethane or just plain black over bad CF.

thanks, I did look at the RKP, but was looking for something a little more aggersive, as I had the m performance diffuser and sold it. I agree wavvy carbon is the worst and that is why I wanted input on the replicas.

PSM and Varis. But I imagine, if you're looking for reps, you won't be willing to put down the coin for them. Even the reps are pricey. Still look like shite though.

PSM makes a pretty aggressive diffuser.



If you want to go crazy, get a Varis diffuser. It's a proper diffuser that actually produces real down force.

No problem. The PSM is a cool diffuser. It's modular so you can pick and choose which set up you want. I have the upper middle section of the PSM diffuser.
