CSL Diffuser options

[Epoustouflant]

Is it to late to get in on the euroconnex group buy ?

They are in production. First one to show the community is done. 2nd batch is open and kicking!

[Epoustouflant]

First units are finally being shipped by René @ Carbo as promised.
More pictures of the various colors that were requested will be posted this week!

You'll notice the center diffuser was done in a hybrid Forged Carbon and 2x2 weave - a relative rare manufacturing technique.

I was pleased with my SG 2x2 weave diffuser.

They look good. Are there any pictures to show the fitting on the bumper?

Well, I will have to say "holy crap", ordered my diffuser from happybuyitnow on the second of this month, and it just arrived now (the 9th). Quality looks really good. Color looks a real good match(Mystic Blue). Don't know about fit yet, will attack that within the next couple of days.
Have to say again, so far impressed !! Live on east coast, delivered in fairly sturdy box, with sufficient packing inside.

Did they provide you with a tracking number when it shipped?

I know Im beating a dead horse... but got some updates...

After putting a burkhart one in my cart, It only showed a total of $402 shipped to US

2nd, I reached out to happybuyitnow168 and shared my concern with his paint and fitment and he replied with pictures and confirmation of fitment. I sent him a few pictures of where the paint line should be and asked if he could make adjustments. Waiting to hear back but here is his reply and pictures he sent.





and lastly, Mile End got back to me... and they wont be making them anymore it seems. Here is the email response.


Im sure none of this is "news" to anyone, and I apologize in advance if Ive been annoying with stalking this forum trying to find a diffuser.

I have a lead on a carbon un painted mile end for a high price tag, but after the headache this has been. I honestly am loosing faith

Did he ever get back to you on the paint line? I ordered one, but didn't want to ask them in case they messed up the paint line worse out of spite for me annoying them. I figured my car is black so it will be less noticeable and if not I'll have it repainted when I get my trunk painted.

I found their official website (happybuyitnow) and it didn't add tax or $20 for paint, so $380 shipped via PayPal. DHL Tracking says it's coming from Taiwan.

^happybuyitnow diffuser ended up fitting just okay. It looked acceptable to me, and I was happy at first but the photos show how bad the gaps are. I might try and play with it some more. The carbon fiber in the middle of where the tips goes has a patched look where it's 2 different pieces. At $380 it's not cheap enough for me to recommend to anyone. I do see people spending $500+ and still having issues so it is what it is.

Urgh that weave defect is disheartening - but you won't really see it. Did you contact them for a probable replacement?

There's been issues with the CarboProject's 1st batch that mostly came from the poor packaging. One had issues with the tab fitment but was fixed. It seems there's play between installations that comes down to previous rear bumper repairs or accidents. It's about 2x as expensive as the Happybuyitnow.

Yeah, I’ve been seeing “just ok” fitment pieces on the streets, which is what led me to search… who has the real deal pieces? If OEM, would someone please share part number (and sourcing)? I assume ECSTuning has them?

I bought a couple of those for $1200 and it was a tough buy at that price.
