Fit and finish is perfect. Aerodynamically I picked up on average about 7-9 MPH around a left hand sweeper. Was generally taking it at about 85-87 now 95+mph. The car feels much more stable at higher speeds and acceleration above 65mph feels smoother and less hindered.

agreed when I put on an authentic spoon rear diffuser. easier to accelerate at higher speed. also, when you let off the gas at higher speed, your speed doesn't drop as fast/ doesn't feel like a parachute when you let off the gas. 7-9mph on a sweeper should result in a significant drop in lap times though. almost unbelievable to attain, unless you changed more than the rear diffuser.

Part of my motivation for this is that I will be moving to Germany shortly and traveling at 100+ mph will probably be fairly regular on the weekends. Might be nice to have any aerodynamic benefits at those speeds...not to mention I was a Mech/Aero Eng major back in college haha

You can see there is about 3/8" of clearance from the exhaust. I'm running the HKS single 70mm and I have no issues or rattles.
Damn, this looks awesome. Im also in for some AP2 confirmation
