Diffuser extensions

[originalC]

So what's the story these days on diffuser extensions? I know the ones everyone suggests are dinmann, status gruppe, and ebay but is there anything else?

It seems like there's limited options, what do people who have the OEM carbon diffuser do, are they simply replace the entire thing with an aftermarket one piece? That seems silly as oem is perfect fitment. The Dinmann is nice but priced pretty high, the Status Gruppe just is too boring, and ebay/ali is not worth on this car.

Is there any one developing something on the horizon, or a better existing option that we have?

Thanks in advance

There was JHP dynamics which was the best option in my opinion but that company is no longer. One thing to really consider though, lots of cheap ones do not have identical weave patterns. Left side weave runs vertical/ right side weave runs horizontal. It's very noticeable.
The SG ones are not like this. Cannot comment on the Dinnman ones.
I have searched and searched and while subtle, the SG ones are and will be my only pick.

Do the sg ones look good with the oem diffuser?

Anyone have pics.

Here's the link for the old pictures of the SG rear extension I found. But, I think this SO in this picture has SG Rear diffuser along with the SG rear extension?

The OEM MP Diffuser does not stick out that much from the bumper. I think the SG rear extension will not look clean if both sides sticks out more than the MP Diffuser.

White car in the middle of the link states that it has the OEM MP Diffuser, but can't tell from the pictures if the SG rear extension lines up with the OEM MP diffuser.

Stay away from Status Gruppe. I wouldn't do business with SG. I tried to buy them before only to be riddled with errors from their company.

At first they sent me an invoice for these, which I paid. Then after 2 weeks of waiting for tracking, and leaving numerous messages they finally answered my phone call when I called from my wifes number. The said there was an error and I had to pay more. After refusing and questioning why I had to pay more all the sudden I finally argued enough to get a refund. A month later I still hadn't seen a refund and called them again only to have my main number not answered and no messages returned. When I finally used a third new number they answered instantly and told me they have these errors all the time with their payment system and they don't know how to fix it. I started at this point to get annoyed and told them I don't appreciate them trying to steal my money only to be hung up on and laughed at. At that point I sent a formal email stating I'd be pursuing legal remedies if my refund wasn't processed and at that point they had a junior associate call me to apologize on behalf of managements poor behavior.

Amazing how they couldn't even own up to hanging up on a customer after making a simple purchase about as difficult as it gets.

I simply just asked for a quote, was sent an invoice in email, which I paid for the same day and then this is how I was treated for being a prompt paying customer.

Long story short never do business with Status Gruppe.

I was thinking of getting the SG Extensions, but I don't think it lines up well with the OEM MP diffuser, so I'm thinking of getting the RW CF Diffuser or something else.

Their lips are ugly asf anyway.

I'd only buy m perf, v style or CS tbh. SG front lip spoiler looks cheap to me idk what it is.

Ty. Seems a different color. Who knows. But on second thought. I think the extensions are alittle over the top for me. It gives the car a more aftermarket modded look than a clean oem+ that I prefer.
