Took a road trip down CA-1 this weekend and found out I definitely need to drive with the diffuser in mind to avoid scraping. I scraped several times by high-centering the diffuser where they were doing road work and there were crowns in the pavement. Also scraped on backroads under heavy rear-suspension compression. Also scraped on several driveways in places where the front of the car cleared with no problem. The diffuser held together great and all the hardware is still perfect, but the paint has taken a beating.

So just take major angles on the driveways and watch out for crowned pavement, folks.

I'm still a happy camper.

I drove on Infineon this weekend and experienced zero ground clearance issues with the diffuser (my S is stock height). Aggressive driveways do present a problem so maneuvering at an angle is necessary from time to time. My paint seems to be holding up fairly well despite the few scrapes I've encountered. Still a very satisfied customer.

Hey gp, would u sell individual fins? Just wondering bc I live in a place where the roads aren't always so pretty and the drive ways are steep mountains.

Hey ans2k,
I see you have a Q300 exhaust, do you have this diffuser too? How is the fit?

I just went through all 30 pages again, I don't see it. Are you thinking the white AP2 on page 16 is a Q300?

My diffuser has arrived!
No damage during shipment all the way to The Netherlands due to perfect packaging.
I even got the bonus canards!

Next weekend I'll install the diffuser.
I must say this is a (master)piece of work with a perfect finish, simple, but effective, well thought of design.
My compliments Jordan!

Now I'm even more looking forward to the side pieces, can't wait for them to be available.
