Quote from: wolfie1;774731they fit not too badly thats the same as mine, you do have to cut out holes for the towing eyes or remove them (i cut mine) and there is a little gap on 1 of the corners but you only notice it up close

Also! did you have to remove that extention bits coming down from the rear arch?

Quote from: rx7boy;774746Cant see the point in carbon

The point is that it\'s a hell of a lot stronger and far less prone to damage, FRP liked to crack, split and break apart, a crack in a Carbon one is just a crack, it has to also rip the mesh of the carbon weave apart to actually break apart, but a crack in FRP is like a crack in a china plate.

i have an apexi back box on mine and it clears with room to spare, the plastic things you are mentioning could they be "spats" mine doesnt have them but if you look on 1 of the pics in the ad there is spats on that car, if you are talking about the undershroud which is mounted to the bottom of the rear spoiler then yea i had to remove that cause the diffuser uses the same mounting points and i also had to drill a hole at the bottom of each arch to mount the diffuser just mind and put instant gasket around the hole before you attach that part of the diffuser to keep water out. i also drilled a hole in the bottom of each rib on the diffuser to let water drain out so it doesnt sit in it

Thats what it is! spats. Yea im thinking it would be handy if i could keep them. Could you put up a pic of yours fitted?

there is this one as well, which i \'think\' is a copy of a craftsquare diffuser. It is sort of a cross between the RE-A pro and sanai diffuser. I kind of like it, but I am not sure how good fitment will be.

wolfie1 · July 09, 2011, 03:26:19 PM

sorry the pic isint so great its the only 1 i have and its pouring outside

i can take more and post them up if your wanting when the rain goes off

brodierx7 · July 09, 2011, 03:29:01 PM

That looks realy good! i think this is the one for me! :chat

wolfie1 · July 09, 2011, 04:05:38 PM

You mean Craft Company, not Craft Square

From here:

and also with the centre section fitted:

Actually, it could also be a copy of the Garage Kagotani diffuser, which is also very similar (if not identical!):

I;ve got this one

brodierx7 · July 10, 2011, 09:58:04 AM

That looks sweet Kenji. i take it thats real carbon? how much was that? and where from? :Thumbs-up

Kenji · July 10, 2011, 11:37:20 AM

nah, it\'s not carbon unfortunatly. it\'s poyester. I bought it secondhand off a guy of the Dutch SXOC boards. He bought it new to fit onto his S13, but it was too much work, so he sold it to me.

It\'s a (copy?) RE Amemiya diffuser.

And with my new St.Mays exhaust:

wolfie1 · July 10, 2011, 03:06:03 PM

i like that exhaust a lot

brodierx7 · July 10, 2011, 03:55:15 PM

That exhaust is sweet. looking good!

@Wolfie: Do you know what the fitment of your street style diffuser is compared to the shine auto version? I know the shine one fits better than the real re-a one, but also has a small gap on the left side. What\'s the overall quality of your diffuser? Could you please take some more pics (also some of the gap)? I wanted to import a shine one, but shipping is 480$. that sucks ...
