Carbon rear diffuser
 
I was wondering if someone makes a carbon rear diffusor, nothing elaborate just the rear piece between the tailpipes?

Before somebody says...yes I did a search and after three pages not what I was looking for.

Thanks.
:confused:

Evo-R makes one that's a knockoff of another one- Fujimura, I think? It might be worth the additional cost to buy the real deal, as Evo-R is hit or miss.

I was looking for a stock carbon fiber piece. I'm not a big fan of all those fins. I don't know of anyone or anything that makes it.

I took a look at both and I'm with you, I just want the identical design except in CF, I'm sure there is a market for that, anyone????

You can always get some CF vinyl. Such as 3M Di-Noc and wrap it.

I thought about that but I have never done that before I would %$#@ it up!

Are there companies out there that I can ship a few items and have them wrap them?

speedfreek 06-18-2013 08:50 AM

Im willing to bet down in Tampa you can find someone at a tint shop that has experience laying vinyl. Call around to some shops and see what they say or see if any of your local Z people recommend a shop that can do the work.

BlueBatmobile on here does precut vinyl so all you have to do is apply it. That is another route you can take to acheive the look you are going for.

If you just want the exact same as the stock bumper, not worth buying something and I doubt anyone makes anything just to replicate the stock section.

There will be a bit of fin to "somewhat" give a diffuser effect with anything on the market. Evo-R and Fujimura are pretty tame.

If you just want to slap some Carbon Fiber in between the exhaust you might as well have a shop wrap it in CF looking Vinyl, but personally I'm not a fan of wraps, I only like the real thing.

If you want to wrap other car parts in CF, look into Carbon Fiber Element, they do great work!

A FYI none of these people IE Vividracing, thezstore, 370ztune, EVO have these in stock they have to order these when you make a online buy. So the wait time is 6-8 weeks sometimes longer. I have called every month hoping they would have one but nope they say they are made when ordered which happens in a sweat shop or Japan. So beware if you order one you will be waiting.

I made a order through EVO-R and I have had 0 communication with them I have sent email after email phone calls and got nothing back.

Chuck33079 06-18-2013 12:23 PM

Better to wait than to be left hanging with no communication at all if you ask me. I'm waiting on some Evo-R stuff too, but at least I ordered through the Z Store so I get regular updates about the (lack of) parts.

red2010z 06-18-2013 12:28 PM

I called the Zstore earlier and he said they didn't get no diffusers in this shipment. I wish I would have ordered through them. Maybe pirates got ahead of the boat coming from Korea with all the diffusers :(

I can't wait that long. I only have a certain amount of time with PayPal to file a complaint. So I will give it a week and I will attempt to get my money back and order it through Vivid.

Chuck33079 06-18-2013 12:33 PM

I wouldn't give Vivid a cent of my money, but other people have had good experiences. I'd spend some time googling their customer experiences. The Z Store gave me a date of 6/24 to get the box of Evo-r stuff that they were supposed to get 5/31. If I call on 6/25 and they don't have it, I'll get refunded.

red2010z 06-18-2013 12:38 PM

I have only dealt with Vivid once for my exhaust I had no issues. I guess my options are very slim at this time for a diffuser.

Chuck33079 06-18-2013 12:40 PM

Google Vivid+nasioc. There's a lot of history there. Cancel the Evo-R order, reorder through the Z Store and just be patient. Eventually I'll do the same, or pony up the coin for the Fujumura.

red2010z 06-18-2013 12:44 PM

I have plenty of time I am stuck in Kuwait for 2 more months. I think in a week if nothing shows up Ill cancel the order and order one through Zstore.

Chuck33079 06-18-2013 12:46 PM

Yeah, that's the only way I order Evo-R stuff. Then I just tune out for a while and get pleasantly surprised when it actually shows up. He makes good stuff, it's the rest of the transaction that sucks.

red2010z 06-18-2013 12:48 PM

I have heard stories of people on this forum order through this fella and nothing ever shows up. So I get alittle worried even tho its only 300 bucks its still the principle.

Chuck33079 06-18-2013 12:49 PM

That's why I use the Z Store, so my transaction is with a good vendor, and Evo-R is their issue.

Sorry to here your experience. FYI, I have the Fujimura CF in stock right now, just give me a shout and I will be sure to take care of you if the Evo-R doesnt pan out.

Sad thing is I would like FRP to match the front lip. DARN U VIVID! :)

vividracing 06-18-2013 01:09 PM

Can do a custom order :tiphat: or else have both Fujimara CF/FRP ones as well

red2010z 06-19-2013 01:39 AM

and then the wait time is forever and a day! :(

You said you in Kuwait for another 2 months, it can be done within that time lol, I said because you are very close and can give any of the options you need

red2010z 06-19-2013 02:35 AM

I am stationed in Kuwait my mailing address is a APO AE and the Army would frown upon me trying to load a big *** FRP diffuser in a military conex.

I get skeptical using PayPal because they only give you a certain amount of time to file a complaint. Not saying I don't trust you but if it takes over that time and I try to file to get my money back it would be a losing battle. If you could produce and get this product to me in say 4 weeks I would be game.

But I have a order through EVO-R already and if he don't produce a product to my brothers address by Saturday I will file a complaint through PayPal and look else where for a Diffuser. Shoot me a price for a FRP diffuser to 28391.

red2010z 06-19-2013 02:37 AM

Vivid has a beautiful CF diffuser right now. But If I get that I will have to change out my front lip to CF to match it. So I don't know what I am going to do.

I only said because its easier and cheaper for us to send it to Kuwait, sending it to US is the same then. And for Fujimara can ship out in a week but the one you want CF custom same like stock bumper will take 2 weeks.

But as you said about paypal etc, wont push you if you are not comfortable. :tiphat:

red2010z 06-19-2013 05:19 AM

I have a FRP front lip if you can produce a FRP rear diffuser and get it to America in less than a month I am game if the price is right of course.

Month is too long can get you delivered by 28th June as well, but my point for Kuwait was to save you on shipping

red2010z 06-20-2013 12:06 AM

OK I can use the address in Kuwait can you send me the price/shipping to Camp Buerhing Kuwait but only thing that can deliver here is FedEx.

TreeSemdyZee 07-11-2013 06:13 AM

Just to revive a few week old thread.
I just ordered the Fujimara Carbon directly from Japan and paid $456 shipped. I know I'll wait, but for the price, I can wait.

DarkJak 07-11-2013 07:07 AM

For that price, it's definitely worth waiting for. From what I've heard, the Fujimura diffuser has a perfect fit too, whereas a lot of people report difficulties on getting the Evo-r version to sit flush.

carlitos_370z 07-11-2013 07:23 AM

post pics when they arrive ;)

TreeSemdyZee 07-24-2013 09:30 PM

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! I can't stand the wait.
