Yep, it's a Nissan 350z Top Secret replica rear diffuser retrofitted to fit the Ap2.

why the hell cant someone just make an AP2 rear diffuser that resembles the J's Racing diffuser on the AP1?

with good fitment and lightweight, sturdy design.

sometimes i really think companies dont use their heads at all...

just like the way, no one has made wide front or wide rear fenders that work with the stock bumpers that are as wide as J's.

is it so much for us to ask? to want some decent shit?

lol

Why does everyone call it a J's diffuser anyways? It is not made by J's Racing, they just attach their name to a First Molding piece.

yea i guess your right. well at least it works and light weight plus this how should a diffuser should look like.

HERE ARE SAMPLES OF DIFFUSER THAT ARE BEING USED IN A RACE GT CARS ...

i think you get the idea how well this thing works. might be ugly to some eyes but i think it serves the purpose.

from CORVETTE, GT3, NSX AND SO ON.

thanks for posting pictures of random cars. Do you have wind tunnel proof that diffuser works? Or is it the general "It's JDM it must be functional" or it's owners trying to justify spending the amount of money they did because it's JDM. I can think of MAYBE 3-4 companies who actully windtunnel test their cars/parts.

No proof, huh? Well then I ask you to show me that Mastergrade's diffuser ISN'T functional, as you are claiming.

Yes, we have made a diffuser just like the one you posted but for the Z. That doesn't make this Mastergrade TS diffuser non-functional.
