Love it. Completely finishes the rear end in my opinion.

OEM is just a lower rear fascia garnish, not a true diffuser.

I have the rear diffuser and I love it . It covers the factory
muffler somewhat and hides the skinny tires as well. Go for it!

I really don't like them. They look cheesy and remind me of the old Adam West Batmobile.

Happy with mine. i wanted something non-functional and cheesy, plus I love the old Batmobile from the TV series, so it was exactly what i was looking for!
Oh, this is the OEM knock-off, too.

If you do a diffuser, don't half-ass it with the OEM cover up piece... Get a REAL diffuser. One that works.

I spent some time and made my own, fully- functioning one for $100. Give or take some rivets.

I don't consider that a diffuser.

This is more what I was thinking:



To each their own. If I saw someone going down the road with that, I'd probably think it was cool. But wouldn't do it myself.

$75 shipped vs. over $500 for the OEM. as i mentioned before, it's a cosmetic piece. i like the way closes out the bottom under the exhaust tips. i neither have the time/skill knowledge/desire to design a functional diffuser. i wouldn't know whether it was functional unless i had it modeled in some FEA program or something.

Well, I think it looks like an afterthought that someone tacked on ....

I like it, got the after market one and have to agree, it just gives it a finished look.
