Default Found an interesting rear diffuser on ebay

Is this the stock diffuser upside down? or something new?

Thoughts what i thought, looks like a bmw 3 series mod. The diffuser would look good if it was complimented with a body kit to fatten it up a bit. It looks out of place and unrefined on a stock body.

Only the duckbill trunk spoiler is typical BMW CSL. Diffuser looks similar to the Tom's diffuser for the 2is. Looks aggressive. I kinda like it. That car needs moar low to pull off the look, imo.

I really like it and I think it'll look good with my front spoiler.

But I know these knock offs will have fitment problems like my front lip and it'll be a big pain to make them fit!

Not sure if this falls under the knock off category, since no company I know of makes this type of diffuser for GS.

Anyone brave enough to be a guinea pig? Fitment would probably be an issue because it has to fit both exhaust surrounds and sit flush up the rear bumper. A good paint job would make it not look so cheap.

Ok, it does fit

I am all for mods, but this is terrible....instead of a snug proper fit, part of it slides over the rear bumper. I am sure there is a market for it, but to me this feels like cheapening up the car.

I decided to be a guinea pig and try it out. Fitment is horrible. Needs a lot of work to make it fit. Slight small gaps due to it not conforming to the body line properly but with a lot of patience and work and a good paint job from the body shop, it came out looking alright. The fitment is very close to oem fitment after working with the PU for a few days with minimal to no gaps. All in all i'm happy with the end result.
