Not bad. If I were to get it, I think I would not have their logo on it and I would have it painted to match my body color.

Nice can you post a pic before you install it. Was it pricey.

I contacted Priince today and received a swift reply. The regular price for an unpainted one is 300 sterling but a group buy price would be 250 sterling. They did not specify a quantity for the discount.

They could have made it like the rs diffuser if they continued the sides down more to go around the bumper (red Marks) like the proper one. I think the center part looks good.

There's no aero benefit from it; just "looks" at best.

They go under each corner bottom of the rear fenders as a continuation of the Defuser, but painted body color.
It makes the rear look more aggresive & lower.

The Speed Pack kit has those extensions; they tie in with the extended sills. Probably have some minor aero benefit in keeping more air under the car and thus pushing more through the diffuser, but I think it's mostly for the visual continuity of the sills.

I stopped by Mina, this afternoon, and spoke to Chris about the headlight bezel he's been working on for the 2007-2011 headlights, but while there I asked him about the cost of the c/f rear diffuser. He said it was going to be about $175.00 which I thought was quite reasonable (downright cheap!). He didn't have it there so I couldn't see it, but I am stopping back on Monday. I'd like to look at it in person.

Are sure this was the price for the defuser & not the eyebrows. If your talking about the rear defuser that I received with the two corner pieces , then I paid a lot more than that,+ shipping.??

i believe that was what he told me in response to my inquiry about the diffuser. It seemed way too little. When I return in the next couple of days, I will make sure we are both talking about the same thing, and I will let you know.

So has anyone here gone with the Prince diffuser? Would love to see some more pics besides what's on their website. I'd rather go with something that replaces only the center piece without the two additional panels, as I don't want to have to add all the other pieces to the rest of the car for the sake of continuation.
