APR Carbon Diffuser Installed
After a 3 month wait, my APR diffuser finally arrived. Installed it on Saturday evening and it was a huge pain. I'm sure a lift would have made the job a lot easier instead of lying on my back for most of the install, but the instructions were very poor and the fit was no better. It took a ton of adjusting, twisting, pulling, yelling, and I finally got everything buttoned up and installed properly after 4 hours.
When I put my wheels on I thought the rear of the car was too plain, and in my opinion this diffuser balances the look perfectly.

It has tabs that go into the bumper cover just like the factory one does and they were way to thick to go into the slots in the cover. Most of the tabs had to be ground down before they would go into the cover. But it was worth it, that was a couple years ago maybe they are a little better by now.

Installation issues aside, the quality of the carbon is very high. I'm a snob when it comes to carbon because I want everything to match the quality of the factory ZR1 parts, and APR does a great job with that. The weave doesn't have any waves, no thick/thin spots, no issues with the tint being darker in some areas than others, all the poor quality issues I have seen with cheaper carbon parts are nonexistent with this APR piece. If you're handy with tools and have access to a lift (I did not) then I would still recommend it.

just looked at your website but you don't have anything showing for the Vettes! I am guessing that you sell the diffusers? Do you also sell the splash guards? Do you make your own Carbon Fiber or are you a distributor for APR?

We sell all APR Performance and Anderson Composite products. So all the diffusers, splash guards etc that they have in carbon. We have.
