Here is a picture from the website, this gives a good idea of what it looks like. Was just curious if anyone had more detailed pictures from their personal vehicle.

I would look elsewhere.

Their quality isn’t worth the premium price tag, and their customer service is slightly better than an overseas company you can’t get ahold of.

They claim they’re premium brand and check quality, but I found numerous spots where the carbon fiber was missing clear coat.

Unless you want several months waiting on a back order product that’s disappointing, I would just buy a decent looking eBay one and not worry if it scrapes.

I’ll be making a separate review later on, but here’s some examples.

This diffuser is ~$900 and fitment leaves a decent sized gap all around the trim panel and body. In two spots in particular the piece bubbles out and is fairly noticeable when close. It’s the only LCI diffuser carbon fiber option I could really find, yet it doesn’t even support OEM tips as it claims.

There’s at least 4 spots where the clear coat is nearly completely missing, or very thin. There’s also about 8 spots where the carbon fiber isn’t uniform.

I have pieces from eBay that look and fit better than this garbage for 1/5 the price.

I will likely go OEM black trim and carbon fiber diffuser after dealing with this from a “premium” brand.
