I'm not looking to spend a ton on a diffuser cause I'm not sure how I'll actually like it but I want to try one out. If anyone is selling a Vorsteiner or Hamman replica diffuser let me know and I will probably take it off your hands! Thanks!

I had originally tried out a replica diffuser, and they simply do not fit whatsoever. Replica lips fit pretty damn well, even replica bootlids have gotten good fitment reviews, but replica diffusers are useless. Unless you want to try it out by having it hanging from your rear bumper, I highly recommend just researching authentic ones and buying the one you like the best. I suggest the VRS Type II or GTM Challenge ones.

The reps aren't AS bad as you say. Mine wasn't hanging off the bumper or anything...

But I did sell mine so I can get authentic

There you go then...point proven I actually wasn't even joking when I said hanging off the bumper because the gaps between the diffuser and bumper were so large that the 3M tape wasn't even touching the bumper in some parts.

I still have to disagree. I went authentic mainly because of the cf weave.
The fit wasn't perfect but it was pretty damn good, and it was installed with double sided tape. No gaps:

Gotcha. Fitment does look good on yours. Guess it depends on the vendor you go with. Anyway, sorry to get slightly . Let's get the OP a replica diffuser if that's what he's looking for fellas!
