Really loving the look of the Seibon rear diffuser, but I don't want carbon fiber.
Anyone know of a similar looking diffuser that's not carbon fiber?
It would need to be for a single-tip dual-exhaust set-up (unlike the Lexon diffuser that's made for a double-tip quad-exhaust set-up). Thanks!

Would this be too big of an opening for single-tips?

I'm having the same issue. I love the way Seibon looks, but unfortunately it only comes in Carbon Fiber
TRD looks to meaty
Skipper is a quad setup
Lexon is too square
The ONLY nice dual setup is Seibon (currently) but it's also a good price -- 680usd
I'll be looking for a new diffuser... I'll see if I can find anything else.

You know you can always wrap or paint Carbon Fiber. It works well, and carbon is a stronger material than polyethylene plastic...
Just saying....
And I love my Seibon carbon diffuser :-)

FullAtomic

It is stronger? I've heard bad things about Carbon Fiber cracking no thanks to rocks getting kicked up from under the car.
I would probably have mine wrapped in black gloss or something....
I really do love that diffuser though. Might order it this week.

The outer coat can have some issues, my front lip has been hit by rocks, there is zero cracking just some chunks out of it. Hind sight I would have had it wrapped with clear bra, but that is on the front of the car and gets hit very frequently. The rear diffuser still looks brand new every time I wash it...

And you can get it less than the listed price on Seibon
PM me and I'll point you in the right direction

I too love the seibon rear diffuser! cf or not, it's an awesome piece. only issue is if it's the only cf exterior part. I was just rappin w/ mark last night about front and aft diffusers. I like the stillen a lot, but think it'll mate well cause the stillen isn't cf or vice versa. imo, it would be a travesty to have to paint the seibon, but may be the only solution.

FullAtomic

I'll definitely wrap it in Black.
Problem I see is maybe painting the wiring?
Definitely don't want it White....

It's easy to paint the wire, seen it done before, and the metal doesn't really stand out that much

Stero87

Yea I personally feel those are too wide...I probably just nitpicking

Stero87

I agree it's a good price. If it wasn't CF it'd be an even better price! Haha
If you find a similar diffuser please remember to post it in this thread!

Stero87

At this rate, might have to just buy it and paint or wrap it.

I have an all black on black 250....any opinions on painting this diffuser to match the paint OR matte black?

FullAtomic

My 3is is matte blue...
Having said that, I was thinking gloss black to match my roof -- which will add some contract to the rear... and make the titanium tips POP.
If you want subtlety, then go for the same color as the body.
I mean.. can't go wrong with matte black. Unless you have gloss black somewhere else.

Anyone know where I can get the Skipper Rear Diffuser? PM me

NVMarkus: Was the diffuser a straight forward install? I remember reading the seibon ones required additional drilling?
