Diffuser and spoiler.
You must of liked it a lot to installed it. I would of tried to resell it if I didn't like the way it was made and found out I can't fit all fins on there.
How did that heartmyis girl fit all of her fits with the aftermarket exhaust? Maybe you shouldn't be so rash to install it immediately.

She has a different vehicle with a completely different fitment. I took this to a buddy who owns a shop who doesnt just hastily put something on. It's not rocket science. If it doesnt fit, you trim it...as instructed to do from the seller.
Even the 350 that it is pictured on..i believe may be an 09+. There was no way it could be installed full 7 fin on my 2007 without some way of getting an even surface from muffler to muffler..and my tank cover does not span that whole distance.

Wow thanks for posting up those pictures! Thanks for the candid and informative review of our product. This will help us improve future offerings...as you know ABS Injection molding is very expensive to produce the setup JIG. Costs are in the 5-digit range to get a setup created. We learned the hard way as we are totally new product mfr as we are primarily a custom stereo shop.
Exact Motorsports is our exclusive vendor and sells these for $329 shipped but we are looking for ways to lower the cost in the future and will pass this savings to CL members. Again thank you for your review and if anyone has questions PM me.

Here's what it looks like on a TP with an '09+ rear bumper. IMO, it flows nicely (especially with a lighter colored car) because of the small matte black trim on the bottom.

Installed.
I had to trim off so much that I lost 2 fins on each side. So It's a 5 fin diffuser I cant see how it could fit 7. The cover to which it is bolted on only covers enough space to allow for 5 fins (on the isx50). And the rest of the space between that cover and the muffler is not level with that cover. So. $349 retail. 7 fins. That's about 50 bucks per fin. I'll send you back the two I had to cut off and you can credit me $100. Sound fair?
I also dismissed all the hardware that came with it. Best to just tape it and use a rivet gun. Next I just have to put a little black paint on the silver rivets.
Again, I love the look. It just all depends on how much you wanna pay for a very small cosmetic mod. I happen to have some excess funds for toys at the moment so I went for it. Part of me says "man i could have gotten something a lot cooler for that much" but I like it so eventually the unjustified high price will wear off on me and hopefully leave me with only pleasant thoughts. Bottom line is that it needs to come down in price or come up in manufacturing quality to appeal to enough people to be bought in large numbers. I assume the maker would not dislike such potential sales volume. But they wont get it at this price. Even though all you see is the fins and cant tell much else...the peace of mind a buyer would have from a higher quality product would be more worth it IMO.
here's a few crappy cell pics. Better ones soon.
I will say , however, that i think they look like a perfect match for the F. That space just screams for this part.

The fitment? The fitment is perfect. Because it was trimmed to be perfect. Once it's trimmed it's a flat piece attaching to a flat piece. It's centered perfectly and it fits perfectly on the tank cover. If you can put a square block into a square hole you can get it to fit perfectly.
Had you commented in a constructive way, I might get into why I chose this subtle mod but a comment like your's deserves nothing but perhaps a lesson in manners.
Maybe just a few moments of premeditation, spent contemplating how your comments will reflect upon yourself, might bring you to the realization that when you have something negative to say; The only way you'll be taken seriously or have your opinion valued in any single way is if you do so constructively and in a less abrasive way. I could, without-a-doubt, find a lot of dislike in quite a lot of peoples' choice of modification design/planning and post short, rude snippets like the many you run around posting on this site but that would just make me an ignorant punk. Wouldn't it? Of some of the comments I've seen you post in threads..maybe use "not for me" instead of "lame." Consider "I personally dont like this" instead of "weak." Or "I question the fitment of this part" instead of "looks TERRIBLE."
Perhaps I let comments like this get to me but, wow!
