Turner CF rear diffuser

Has anyone seen the Turner CF rear diffuser in person yet? At $499, seems like a pretty reasonable price, but wondering about quality/fitment.

I have it on my F80 and I'll just say for the price you can't go wrong and I think it looks great.

Few nitpicks, the mount points on the diffuser where it "bolts" into the bumper are only half holed, I'd feel a little bit better about those if they were fully enclosed holes.

Also getting it to clip in on the underside of the bumper was kind of tricky to get right. The clips on the diffuser could have maybe locked better or something.

I purchased the Turner Motorsports rear diffuser. Fitment is great and the quality is great too. Only trouble I had was installing the two "clips" first, which are kind of a pain to line up. If you try to screw it in first then line the clips, it will not fit; the clips must be lined up first.

I just wish it including rear side extensions too, to complete the look.

They don’t have any pics on their site. Kind of looks like RKP diffuser.

Older thread but figured I’d share some pics after installing this weekend. Fit and finish is very good. As someone stated before you need to align the two lower middle tabs first otherwise you will never get it to fit correctly. Reasons I bought were: price compared to OEM M performance diffuser, TMS diffuser covers more of stock muffler, and I can still open the trunk with a kick under the diffuser.

If you look on TMS, there is a lower rear diffuser also, so could be for attaching that

Holes are for attaching the lower diffuser. You can’t see them when installed.

Installing this diffuser...not fun. None of the clips are deep enough to reach the holes to actually clip in. The only real support is the screws which are unfortunately not a fully enclosed circle. So this thing 100% will fall off without some DIY’ing. Maybe I got a bad one as I see others say fitment was good. Disappointed

Maybe...I will update if I RMA. Might just return it. It’s a nice diffuser but as someone above said, it really needs the side blades to complete the look.

I had issues on first pass and thought mine was defective as well. Give it another try. The tabs underneath are the key. You may need to pull/stretch but it’ll line up.

Full turner diffuser if anyone wanted to see it. I wouldn't say it was a hard install but there were issues getting the bottom diffuser portion aligned with the top.

So my bottom clips don’t reach, how’d everyone else get it to fit without scratching up the diffuser?
