Default CF Side Diffusers

So I've been trying to find some reviews on the Forbidden CF side diffusers but I can't find anything. Does anyone have the CF Forbidden diffusers? What is the quality like?

I have seen several good reviews on the Downforce versions, but nothing on the forbidden. Just trying to get a comparison on the two. The forbidden diffusers are a little over $100 cheaper than the DF diffusers.

Any comparison on the two brands would be greatly appreciated.

I used the WASP when I had my S
They make very good quality products and also have nice lip protectors and chassis mounted front diffusers.

I had Rockstar fiberglass ones and now have Downforce carbon ones. They are pretty simple pieces so fitment should not be an issue. For me spending the $100 extra to get the real part that had the reviews was worth it. I have seen other forbidden stuff and the quality is decent. Post up a review if you but them.

I have Forbidden. Nice pieces. I used 3M--no drilling. They're thin so educate your passengers to be careful. One good whack can crack 'em.

Thanks so much for posting pics Mark355! Those look really good. Is that the 2x2 CF weave? Also, about how far out would you say they stick out from the chassis?

I have side strakes on my car. I have seen others run similar side diffusers (not sure what brand) with side strakes, but not sure if I could with the forbidden versions.

Whatever I end up getting I will post up. Will be soon.

I'd be a bit nervous that those would fly off or get stepped on and come off if they are only taped on.

2x2 weave. They stick out maybe an inch, if that. They look larger than they are and do not block any jack points. Could probably use these with side strakes too if that's your thing.

Industrial carpet. I agree it does kinda look like a putting green lol.

These are not coming off with red 3M auto tape. Try to pry these off and they'll break. 3 years, no issues.

Meh - look kind of tacky. Like when people put splitters on a stock - body car.
