Adamaster Diffuser pics?

Im debating on buying a replica diffuser from Adamaster but can't find any pics of the diffuser installed on a car. If anyone has bought a diffuser from Adamaster can you please post a picture of it here. It could be a type 1, 2 or anything. Tried searching but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance.

I have one on sale in Irvine/Rowland Heights/Diamond Bar area, bought it from Adamaster, but I want to get a Vorsteiner Type 1 and paint the sides instead of the 3D style one. Not even used, box is just open from when I mocked it up to my rear bumper, that's it. PM me if you're interested, I'll work out a good price with ya. Just want to get a little cash back to put to the Vorsteiner instead.

If anything, you'll be free to see it in person!

I have the admaster vrs style. Bang for the buck. Can't tell any differ then other's. It's like, when you go shop for a HD T.V.. thay all look good. But when you put them next to each other one looks lighter or darker or more color then the other. when you park near a m3 with a real vrs diffusor and your next to it. You are not going to justify 1200.00 for a real one next to your's..I was surprised. The only downside it the fitting it can be pulled off.. You play with it and you can get it on right.

I'm not that good with downloading pictures and I'm kind of busy. You will not be disapointed. 400 to 1100 for a vrs is a steel. Also there's other companys that are buying from the same place that admaster is getting there molds and there fighting. Look at jl motoring or eclipse difusors. Same thing! Your call search. I was shocked. But for 400. I was good

Guys, I'm not going to lie. I have the adamaster Type II diffuser and the fitment is so off it's unbelievable. Perhaps mine is defective which I hope but the fitment is so bad that the 3m tape can't reach the bumper is many spots and creates a 1-2mm gap. Just a heads up for anyone looking to purchase this.

The only benefit is that it's $300 shipped, that's about it. I'm not sure about his other products, but the Type II replica I have is a POS.

Yep. The fitment suck's. But enough glue and 3m tape.The trick is to use a jack and some towels on the jack plate with it pushing up on the diffusor and let it sit overnight it'll stick right.
I used two hydro jacks one on each side with thick towels so I don't scratch anything.
Try that.

I have the type 2. I will try to get some pics. The fitment is ok. It looks fine unless your inspecting it.

same here, i got the vrs type II style. the fitment is a bit off on both sides where you can see 2mm that doesn't sit flush along the lines of the rear bumper. i mean you have to kneel down next to it and inspect it to see it, but it's a bit off nonetheless.

I feel the need to come to Adamasters defence here!! I ordered the VRSII from him and had it fitted recently and i am extremely pleased with the results. I wouldnt say that fitment is 100% but you would need very keen eyes and be incredibly anal and pedantic to take issue with it. A friend of mine has a genuine Vorsteiner and paid ridiculous money for it - side by side with mine it is almost impossible to tell the difference and even his is not a 100% perfect fitment either. Bang for buck mine is the perfect buy. Also Adamasters service was brilliant, he kept me informed, gave me shipping and tracking details and item arrived well packaged and undamaged within days. Overall very happy and definitely recommend him. Maybe i was lucky? If not i hope Adamaster sorts the issues out for the unhappy customers. Pic below isnt great but gives an idea. Cant wait to fit my Eisenmann Race when it arrives!!!

Yea, the 3D one was in good shape, and Ada packed it like it was ready for World War III. Just personal preference-wise, I don't really like the 3D style one on light colors: the darker the color the better it looks.

It is installed correctly. The installation isn't a fail, the diffuser itself is.
