I'm thinking of getting the Top Secret CF front diffuser.

I have this on my car, and I wouldn't recommend it. It's a huge hassle to take on/off because the bolts on the sides are very tough to get at, and they didn't offer a better way to bolt it on. I ended up having to come up with a creative solution for bolting down the sides as I completely stripped the original screw/nut. The problem is that because it's one piece, you must take off the entire piece every time you do an oil filter change, or any time you want to access the engine from below.

Also, they don't have any rubber moulding around the edges of the diffuser, so it will cut into your bumper and scrape away the paint around the edges. Moreover, only the top is CF. the rest of it is fiberglass, and is pretty heavy. Another annoyance is that if you look carefully, the diffuser is not completely symmetrical. You won't notice it unless you measure it, but to me, that's sloppy workmanship. Top Secret is a joke, imho. Take a look at their oil baffle--it's amateur hour.

thanks for the feedback man. I thought that they added a cover so that you dont have to remove the entire diffuser to change the oil? Nut I can see where it might be a PIA if you are working on the engine on a lift.

They have a cover for draining the oil, but they don't have a cover for changing the oil filter (at least mine didn't come with one). It would be a smart move on their part to add a big panel so that you can access most of the underside of the engine without having to remove the entire diffuser. I'm changing over to something else in the near future so I don't have to deal with it anymore.

I have the complete Top Secret wide body kit, and soon will have their cf hood, steeringwheel, and other goodies, stay tuned for pictures. I am also running Fusion/Top Secret oil, the nano-treatment for the engine, brake fluid, all of which works great btw and worth the money IMO
