Default APR Carbon Fiber diffuser

I decided during the lock down the car needed, yes NEEDED , more carbon fiber. So I channeled my inner Steven Bell and ordered up an APR V2 carbon fiber rear diffuser. Josh with Meraki Autoworks (forum vendor) hooked me up!

The APR piece is super high quality, finish is flawless, weave is perfect, fitment is very good. Well worth the price. Love the way it gives the car a more aggressive rear end without out being over the top crazy.

Pics below are right out of the box. No polishing, no wax, no coatings. Just rubbed down with some prep spray to get rid of the fingerprints. Amazing!

Mostly bolts. A few snap clips. The side vents are snap clips and double sided tape. Total time spent removing old and installing new was maybe 45 minutes. Hardest part was removing the red reflectors. They were a bit of a pita.
