We would have fitment issues. This diffuser has such high tolerance that it fits with a Tanabe diffuser. With fiberglass, it would be thicker. Our molds are designed and compensated for thermal heat expansion, therefore we can achieve awesome fitment.

I've seen this first hand this weekend. Its thin enought that no aftermarket exhaust will have any issues with fitment. best part is it only weighs next to nothing

As for the non cf, DRY CARBON was always intented to be painted so you can do the same if your only issue is the color or carbon look. Or you can paint it partial to be different

I forgot to mention that we had the diffuser sitting on the top of the exhaust during the drive from norcal to socal. No blemishes whatsoever. Diffuser does not melt or distort

Kevin will there be anyway you guys can incorprate some screws to it to enhance it's security to the car? I noticed that there weren't any on yours, but I assumed that was only because it was the prototype. Will there be pre-drilled holes or will there only be double-sided tape? I imagine it would be super easy to steal if it was only held on with double-sided tape IMO

Yep there will be two or maybe four pre-drilled holes to secure the diffuser along with the double sided sticky tape. All hardware will be included.

Have you guys thought of you using T9 or T6 type screws? That would more then like deter theft because these types of screw drivers are hard to find.

i hope the non carbon fiber one is like 250-300, since it doesnt have any special expensive carbon, just thin plastic
