CSL Diffuser options

[Tbonem3]

I would say fitment of the happybuyitnow is dependent upon the installer and how far they're willing to go to pull it into the contour of the bumper cover.

If you just put it in and turn the little metal tangs down, it doesn't have great fitment. Look at any picture of my car from different (rear) angles, and it looks like it has great fitment, but I took extra steps to get it like that.

The diffuser from Rene with carbo-project or whatever it's called, that Euroconnex lists, has better fitment, though still not absolutely perfect. I did a review in the GB thread. The main issues were paint related, slight fitment issue on one side.

Status gruppe is a crap shoot. I've seen really bad (trunks and csl bumpers too), but my friend has one that fits incredibly well, though it's from like 2015 or something.

Bumping this one up. What's the current state of diffuser options? For those of us who "manage expectations," is there a cheaper option that we like?

I saw that euromotorsport aka happybuyitnow was having a "sale" on ebay so I took a chance at it. I haven't put it on but it seems like a nicely made piece.

Same. The happybuyitnow diffuser fits poorly on my silver car. Would prefer to put a high quality diffuser on the blue car.

Signed up for the wait list, been looking forward to this.

[Casa de Mesa]

Hopped on the waiting list.

Interested to see the price as well - will likely be in on this (just like damn near everything else Matt has put forward!)

I've been cooking & convincing some people for a 1 to 1 replica in pre-preg & autoclaved carbon. Made from OEM level data, and I unfortunately comment anything additional to that effect for obvious reasons.

This will available to everyone but Europeans. Available in ready-to-paint primered version with a few mm of leeway on the paint line, or a complete color-match service.

The waiting list is up here. It will be a crowdfunding for a brand new, fresh carbon fiber mold for OEM precision.

We'll need about 20x. Introductory pricing will be lower than listed. I'm getting one of these for sure.

Give me a week or so as I button up the SS GB.

I don't see a waitlist but i'd be interested if the price is right.

The fitment on my old status gruppe diffuser is pretty atrocious. Might have to get in on this, will want to see fitment on them though.

I've made progress with René and he has agreed to offer the CSL diffuser unpainted / uncleared. This will lower pricing by a bit and allow us to color match and do our paint lines locally per our taste!

We are testing this with a CSL diffuser for my E46, should be ready in 2-3 weeks.

i believe MEC is Mile End Composites.

I have a Jet Black MEC diffuser that I will be selling here in a couple weeks when I change out my diffuser in case anyone is interested.

What brand is MEC? Any pictures. I'm on the hunt for a JB 1x1 CSL diffuser.

A new option: 949 Euros from Alpha N

Sheesh. It's most likely private labeled though, so I'd be curious to find who actually makes it.

René @ CarboProject is making a CSL diffuser for my E46 at the moment but unpainted & uncleared. Less expensive and will allow us to do whatever paint line we want at the shop. It brings the cost down considerably and eliminates paint risks during transport.
