Wow... I can see the difference in its design. I wish you didn't bring this newer design back! Everything appears to be just slightly more bulkier and edgier. Very nice!!!

Finally got my diffuser installed last week, it was one of the first run diffusers, so I expected (and got) the fitment issues at the corners. But I solved the fitment issue by adding another larger, longer self-tapping screw underneath near the edge of the diffuser, not really that noticeable and heres the pics, judge for yourself. IMO, the best addition I made to the rear of my car. (At least until now, working on a project or 2 here soon.) Keep you posted. and BTW, that is my SLP Loudmouth Powerflo exhaust w/4" Corsa replica tips, love em.

DAMN! those look real good! I imagine i missed out on the better fitting ones then ☹ after several years and a couple other fitments i tried installing it again 2 weeks ago (i bought mine back in 2013ish) after moving around and getting stuff out of storage i thought, you know what, im putting my insert in... the left rear outside just wont curve around and i even tapped a couple of screws underneath... just wont curve around on one side. But i love the looks, just trying to get it fitted properly is the issue.

I have one of the off fitting ones, I remember being told if you let it get warm it may get a bit more bendy? Not sure how true that is given its fiberglass not poly, but ive tried several times with mine as well and ended up using some pop rivets to help align it. I think that and some good tape will help keep it correct overtime but may have to go back with some screws.

they look good!

cajun as awesome as that looks.........it just disappears on a black car. Im sticking with flat black for mine.....which reminds me it needs paint too.

That’s just the raw plastic. Not painted at all. It’s like a gunship grey.

Is it safe to buy from MAGG performance yet? I would like the front splitter and rear diffuser but I read all the threads about 6LE and them screwing over everyone. I'm a bit worried that I am going to get robbed out of $1k.

Well, when the time comes maybe the right custom shop will come up with a functional front splitter and rear diffuser kit to improve my F-body aerodynamics...
