Default Aero Function diffuser...anyone?

Does anyone have this diffuser? I know its a Ventross rep. so I was wonder about the fitment. I was thinking to get the non cf one and paint it gloss black or wrap it in cf for my USB. What you guys think?

Looks absolutely terrible. Not sure why people buy a car that stickers over $60k and then put bargain basement crap on it that looks like it comes from Pep Boys clearance aisle. Might as well put the Ed Hardy steering wheel and seat covers on it too.

I don't really like it by itself, but it might look OK in conjunction with s4play's diffuser, if that's possible.

Looks cheap and ugly. I would stick with Toms or Wald if you have money to throw away on the wald.

Looks like the Ventross knock-off. I used to want the Ventross but I came to the conclusion it's kind of bland and boring with no fins and being so thin. I ended up going the Toms route. I don't think it looks bad though if you're trying to keep a conservative look.

Oh so this is an aftermarket part?

I had a guy stop by with this and it does look better with our sharkfin diffuser. At first I thought this was an OEM part! Yes the diffuser does fit on this piece. I think this works on certain colors but definitely not others.

Trying to imagine it on a Metador red:

i personally like wald the most but way too expensive and kinda too aggressive that I would need a front lip, wald spoiler and some nice wheels to go with it. my F is pretty much stock as its my dd. Nate008 ur right. Im just looking for a conservative look. i think this AF/ventross lip looks oem and nice on a white F. not sure how it would look on a USB tho. yes, definitely it would look better with a s4play diffuser.

Anyone that has the Aero Function and doesn't mind having their car photographed for our website please let me know, we need a few volunteers

Norcal is preferred!

I switch over a few rear diffuser over 2 years :

I had S4Play first:


and then I have Ventross CF:


and I settled with Tom's CF:


IMO, the Ventross rear look too 'boring'; I actually did combinded Ventross with S4Play at one time...but you can't really see the fins due to the fitment.


hope it help the OP decided whatever he want to go with.
