Hows the rear spats fitment with the AK rear diffuser? Does it look good together and are the colors close to the same? I'll have my kit soon. Also are these easy to install or should i have a body shop install the kit?

Lastly, can you post some more pics of the way the spats look with the diffuser from a few different angles? Thanks man I really appreciate it. Great build BTW! I'm envious of the air ride.

The fitment is perfect. The spats were designed to compliment the AK diffuser. The carbon fiber weave of both the diffuser and spats is identical so it matches perfectly.

I installed myself with self tapping screws and those metal washers that have a foam seal glued to them. Got them from Home Depot. I also used 3M VHB to hold the parts in place while I drilled holes and used the screws. I have almost 3-4000 miles of driving on bad California roads and no issues.

I'll post some pics hopefully tonight since so many are requesting them.

Air ride is AMAZING! And thanks for the compliments!

Here's the pics of the successful auto rear spats meeting with the autokits-x rear diffuser. Let me know if you need some more of different angles. Also, I haven't washed the car in two weeks so don't give me a hard time!

You're welcome Brad. The fit for the successful auto parts is very nice! Except for the trunk, which I've sold and the roof spoiler which took 3 cycles of installing and uninstalling before I found the right combo of epoxy and 3m VHB to get it to stay adhered to the glass . The autokits-x rear diffuser has its fitment issues that are well known and I was surprised at how good the fit of the alibaba spoiler was lol.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the pics in your build thread! Just get the items I've said; 3M 1" VHB, hex-head self-drilling screws and galvanized bonded sealing washers!

Then simply apply the tape, stick the parts on the car, drill tiny pilot holes and put in the screws. I also used a hydraulic floor Jack to prop the opposite side of the splitters up since I didn't have a helping hand .
