Autoplus diffuser - Direct Group Buy

Final update: I have received my money back from PayPal. There hasn't been any communication back from autoplus and any previous communications were just stall tactics. Their website states issues with communication and overflow of orders but many have not heard from them in weeks. PayPal claims have been field to get the refund process started. I would advise you to submit a claim if you haven't already. As it will take a few weeks for the money to come back.

So just out of curiosity, the quad modification, is it just cutting up the opening, or is the diffuser made with an opening.

I'm putting together a list of questions to ask all together since translation can be a bit tricky. I will add this one to the list.

Edit: Quick phone call later... Quad diffuser has different mold, they are using the M2 exhaust as the standard for the size of the opening. The quad opening still retains the 4 "shark fins" as well.

Also clarified that they have a full Carbon option for $950.

For your viewing pleasure.

I believe these were modified after they were made to be duals but it gives you a strong idea of what your car will look like with the quads.

Invoices were sent out today by autoplus, if you are thinking about it, I'd pull the trigger now. This group buy is cheaper than used and direct from autoplus Japan.

Paint quality is superb. It's nice to have it all ready to go when you get it to your door. Especially if you choose the carbon fiber option because the clear coat will be over both the painted parts and the cf so it will look seamless.

Send me your info if you are interested, they are accepting payment now and are ready to move to production phase. We already got free shipping so anyone that joins the group buy can get in until they start production which is next week.

Is the CF a good match for the BMW M performance rear spoiler?

Yes it is, they are highly regarded as one of the best aftermarket diffusers you can buy for the money, which is why users on this forum usually sell the used autoplus diffusers for more than the price of new because shipping is anywhere from $150-$200 since they are shipped direct from Japan.

If you can get some pictures of the M2 quad exhaust diffuser as it will be sold than I might be interested. Thanks for the pictures of the diffuser that was modified post-mold for the M2 quad exhaust, it gives a good idea, but I'm sure those interested would like to see the final product before buying.
Thanks for doing the leg work on this group buy

The Quad diffuser is not something they actively sell/advertise so once mine is made, I'll have photos for anyone that is still deciding. Our current group buy is at 5 now and orders are pushed through and production has started for most of us (One person hasn't paid yet).

You already know I'll have photos from all angles once this baby is on my car!

Is there still time to order?

I really like the look of the carbon fiber middle with Esotril Blue on the ends. Even though my 2015 hasn't spent all it's time in the sun I'm still concerned about how the paint would match. Not sure if it would be better to go full CF or not, but can't find any photos of a full CF Autoplus rear diffuser on a F22.

Yes there is still time to order. There is a full cf option but I personally feel like the appeal of the autoplus diffuser is that half cf half body color look. The paint should be a direct match unless your cars paint has been baked by the sun on a daily basis. Need name, email and address to have invoice sent to you by autoplus. The sooner the better if you want in on this batch.
