Love it! I would just put some double-sided tape along that edge. There are black ones which can handle outdoor elements nicely.

 

Bumping an old thread because I didn't want to start a new one...

For people that bought the Tom's rear diffuser, how was the carbon fiber weave of your diffuser? Is your weave perfect with little to no imperfections, or do you see imperfections near the sections of the diffuser that are popping up (e.g. the "fins" of the diffuser). I haven't seen any other Tom's rear diffusers in person so I'm not sure whether complex weaves like a rear diffuser will be impossible to perfect, or if I just got a half assed job. For the price I paid and from the raving reviews I've seen on the forum, I was expecting a near perfect weave. But I don't have much experience buying carbon fiber parts, so just let me know if this is how it usually is and is the result of having to stretch the fiber to contour to the mold.

 

Thats shotty to me man, I have had a car where the entire front end was carbon fiber, and none of the imperfects were THAT bad. I would contact them and see what they can do for you. If I spent that kind of money on one, I would expect it to have very minimal to no imperfections.

 

Hmm... that's disappointing. The diffuser is already on the car, but I'll try contacting the vendor. Thanks for the input.

 

If you don't mind it doesn't really matter, but the for the price I would think they would have some quality control. How noticeable is it when mounted?

 

When did you receive the diffuser? I ordered mine over 4 months ago and still no word when it will be in.

 

Sorry to say, not a single weave out of place on my diffuser. Front lip also. I,ve seen a few Tom's kits and they have all been perfect. That is strange.

 

I received mine about a month and a half back. It was from a vendor that had already ordered a few sets and were already on its way from Japan.

 

Id be afraid of just double sided tape. I mounted mine with six screws and washers through the bumper cover. Its been tested up to 150 MPH. No issues.

 

which vendor? im looking for one of these

 

Nice rear end and tasteful addition for the F. I have the same gap as OP. But I can live with it for now.

 

@kzlflash

Keep us posted. I'm interested to know which vendor too

 

It's not so much the vendor's fault, there is no way they could have known since the box is sealed and the diffuser wraped. It's Toms fault for shipping out poor quality's product. I have personally seen about 8-10 Toms rear diffusers and haven't seen one with this many imperfection.

 

You are absolutely right. I would still be interested to know what and how the vendor can rectify such a situation.

For my knowledge I want to know the vendor so I have extra options to purchase toms kit as well as hearing first hand from a member the service the vendor can provide

 

Again, this has nothing to with the vendor. They are simply a middle man, they do not manufacture the diffuser.

TOMS manufactures the piece, therefore, you having extra options to purchase the kit is irrelevant. They will all come from the same source.

OP, call TOMS USA and see what's up.
