I ordered this one and it decent for the price. Weave looks pretty good. Fitment I would say is 8.5. Not perfect, but acceptable and only I notice where it’s a bit off. When it gets destroyed I’ll order a non carbon version for half the cost. But for the money it’s a decent CF rep lip

Here's the problem with these CS reps, I've tried two of the above and had to return them, the fitment was pretty bad (luck of the draw). I'm on my second one posted below (style wise, not the seller) and they both fit 99%, I smashed the first one as expected.

The ones I get have mounting tabs as you can see in these pics, they are closer looking to an actual CS lip than the ones above. Since it all comes from the same places overseas they are all a copy of a copy of a copy and for some reason the ones I recommend are much much harder to find on ebay as of late.

Here's what you should look for and I guarantee your chance of it fitting correctly will go up dramatically:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/31440325671...=10001&mkevt=1




You can see actual mounting tabs and the ones at the end utilize a stock location, the other reps are just a slab of fake CF that you literally drive screws through.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Vorsteiner-style rear diffuser BUMPERS ONLY? I've looked everywhere and have seen it on the forums and various sellers, but they always sell it with the diffuser which I do not need.

Bought lower carbon fiber splitters. Weave was not good. Fitment was ok but it was very tight around the splitter where it almost scratched the paint. Also arrived with defects. I started a return but the seller is beating around the bush about accepting the return claim. I ordered some JC sport line and will update the quality of those when I get it.

Ok so I received the JC sport line splitters and they were also crap. Theirs was better quality as it had no scratches. The weave under light was so bad though. I ended up finding some dry carbon sets from Amazon seller that were amazing for the price. I think this is who some of the known resellers get theirs from that charge $249. As you can see it doesn’t cover as much area in the bottom of the splitter but you won’t be able to see it once installed anyway. I say these were the best splitters under $200 I could find.

thanks for the review. So I'm not getting carbon mirrors from JC sport line.
Just curious... are you able to return them back to or it's more expensive to send them back to china?

Echoing Eggf80 above, can confirm the Aerobon lower splitters from Amazon are solid. 9/10 finish and fitment.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XXXMQTC...ding=UTF8&th=1



Took a chance and bought a V-style diffuser from a random eBay seller cf-auto666 and the fitment is trash. Weave and clear coat look fine, but I had to modify it to even remotely fit. Center piece has a slight curve to it, everything is undrilled, tabs didn't even come close to lining up with OEM holes and the side pieces were not perfectly flat so they dont sit flush with the bumper.

Thank you for this post, you just saved me a hassle.

I had purchased CF seatbacks from the same user cf-auto666, and not only did they arrived cracked, I test fitted just to see and the fitment was abysmal. I’m in the process of returning currently and the user was very adamant on giving me some compensation and for me to keep the product and to close the dispute asap. he explained that he has already taken a big loss and blah blah blah. He had to have sent me at least 10+ messages trying to convince me to keep the product or work out other ways to not refund me 100%. I told him okay, how about instead of a refund I’ll take a 3 piece diffuser instead? He was okay with that, but after reading your post I just messaged him just now and said I would like the refund instead. The seatbacks will be delivered back to them on this coming Tuesday, after I receive my refund I will close the dispute. I don’t really trust sellers like this.

With that being said, anyone have a link to a good 3 piece v style diffuser? Lol
