Hmmmm I had bad luck with my 166's.... curbed them a couple times and then had both rears get a slight bend to them. Some NASTY roads in some of the country-areas I drive in for work. I'm going to have them refinished and straightened and then sell them I think (with of course the disclosure they are now straight). Yea - I think the CF rear diffuser would almost be TOO much CF. The front splitter works in CF b/c it's so small. I'm talking to a guy on the boards that has a black one for sale but he'd rather sell locally. Hopefully he'll come around and ship me it!

Looks fantastic! And if you ever get tired of the black roof you can peel it off!

I just read your sig and saw your front splitter is CF...so a rear CF diffuser would make more sense....CF in the front and gloss black in the rear would look off....IIRC you purchased the splitter from ER, do they carry a CF diffuser to match?

Ugh. I'm so broke though... Aren't CF rear diffusers like $400?
