Rear diffuser recommendations?

Want to slap a CF REA diffuser to compliment my carbon front splitters, spoiler and mirrors. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ive one some research but can't make my mind up and want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Pics would be helpful.

Cheers,

I'm really liking the Vorsteiner GTS-V rear diffuser. They have been pretty much sold out since the release.

Thats hot! Also look at Arkym. Just be aware that if your catless, they could start to discolor over time. It did it on my JL Motoring Replica on my sedan and now my Arkym on my ESS coupe.

That new Vorsteiner is nice.

The dual diffuser must be counterproductive. Looks cool though.

I really like the Vorsteiner GTS-V diffuser, best current diffuser imo. The only thing I dont like about their type 1 and 2 are the slates are too small and weak looking. Try looking at Arkym, heres mine which I painted to mimic the e46M3 CSL diffuser:

^ I like how you've painted it! Looks great very unique


My list would be

- Full Varis (if you want to part with some $$$$)
- VRS GTS-V
- ARKYM

Anyone has installed full varis rear diffuser?! just wonder will it be a big trouble for road use and going through ramp? Tks!

Another question, I'm currently using meisterschaft gt2 exhaust! will there be any problem with the fitment?

Challenge "Race" is the best looking IMHO. Unfortunately it has been MIA for almost a year.

I have the same set up which I did about 8 months ago in Taiwan.

basically you need a bodyshop to mold down the Arkym diffuser then paint it. what the price is whatever you pay for the Arkym diffuser+molding+paint+varis diffuser.

but still cheaper then buying the varis diffuser top and bottom piece
