Either way, It’s returnable from this seller and still recommend rolling the dice IMO.

I just got mine in today and installed. Fitment was actually.. pretty damn decent. Highly decent. I wish it had another connection point at the rear but it seems to be held on there pretty well without.

The holes on the end pieces were accurate and it kind of just popped into place. I'd seriously give it a 9/10. Weave isn't bad at all either. My only qualm was on the inner edge of one of the 'fins' but I seriously can't complain at this price point.

I wanted the look of a very simple diffuser and this achieved it very efficiently. I'll probably go knockoff for the front lip too, just because being lowered it's a wear item.

I purchased these M1, M2, and push to start button from Amazon last week. Fitment was great, and the price was right!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

fitment: 10/10
quality: 10/10
hard to tell in the pics but the colored lighting matches the other buttons 9.5/10

^ I got the red ones a while ago, I can't believe that I purchased the first set which was yellow from IND, much more expensive for literally the same cheap plastic part, I looked at them side by side

I would go for the ones that are slightly more $ from known sellers on ebay. Even if the fitment is good I doubt the carbon fiber is good quality at that price.

Read the info...I bet it is just molded abs with carbon wrap on it. See the word "plastic":

Don't get me started on that Abdul fiasco. I gave up on that other thread. It was really pathetic and sad. I'm not touching him or that product with a 10' pole.

On the product itself, I think it's funny that app the pics on that Amazon link are without direct or even partial sunlight. The issue is the turn signal indicator not being "as" visible in bright environments. Fitment issues are hit and miss. I briefly considered this months ago, and decided my oem LCI tails are perfect for me.

This is why I went with V1s to replace my LCI tails, no fitment issues unlike V2s and I like the startup sequence a million times better

I'm going to attribute the v2 fitment errors as user impatience… mine were 10/10 compared to OEM with just a little bit of patience and finesse.

I posted up about the very first link above in the thread. I'm moderately pleased with it, esp for the price point. Looked fine and hasn't flown off into the road so that's about all I can hope for.

Also, like I said before, make sure you 3m tape the side splitters on before drilling. Mine shifted slightly when I drilled it before taping it but I've been too lazy to re-adjust it since it requires drilling another hole into the bumper.



What spoiler is that? Looks incredible.
