Default Ebay oem style carbon rear diffuser?

Hey does anyone know anything about this? This sellier sells a replica carbon kit for the RCF but I just saw this carbon rear diffuser. Does anyone have any information about this? Just curious about it.

Saw this just yesterday too on eBay. Maybe asking the vendor for more close up photos. Seems reasonably priced.

Let us know what you think, I've seen a few vendors before that only had like a 97% rating that have had some issues! Front piece looks like a pretty cheap lil' piece of plastic for $600 but hope i'm wrong. Let the forum know what you think if you get it or the rear piece. GL

Looks like Taiwanese made JPM carbon. Their other pieces are replicas of Amgain

Anyone else willing i take the plunge? I just bought a full lexon carbon kit, password jdm enclosed carbon intake w/ a giant cone filter, pwjdm CF door sills + pwjdm CF engine cover kit. My bank account isn't very happy with me right now lol. The cover kit looks just like the photos below.

Looks awesome.... I would venture to guess by how good it looks that you bank account took a significant hit.

Thumbs up

That Engine Bay looks AMAZING!

Would you mind posting Links to where you got all those products? I assume the Intake replaced the entire Stock Airbox? Filter at least. I know anyone can search JDM, but I'd really like to know where you got that ENTIRE CF Setup! Very nice man!

EDIT: Disregard- I believe I found it all. Holy Smokes, you seriously crushed that bank account didn't you!

Just go onto IG and find password jdm or give them a call. The intake box alone without snorkel or tube costs north of 1k i believe. Mention the FB discount and you'll get 20% off I think. The CF intake tube is from RR racing! I can definitely feel the power from the intake but im going to have to dyno it to make sure! I was lucky enough to get everything for more than 80% off by knowing the right people! Im not trying to sound cool, i just got lucky! Good luck! DM me if you have any questions!

Does the intake significantly change the way the car sounds?
I’m surprises you say you can feel the hp difference. Most intakes change nothing or so insignificantly that one cannot feel it. It’s typically just a cosmetic or aural improvement.

Yeah the intake is loud as hell! There is a second opening to let cold are into the box from the bottom which gives it a lot more cold air. Also, the intake makes a loud suction noise, sounds like a turbo spooling lol
