Thanks man, and thanks for the pics. I'm planning on getting the diffuser soon. I guess a quality body shop will make it work. : )

did OP ever got the diffuser.
i freaking ordered it on ebay w/ showstoppers and made a big mistake. (didn't read any reviews)

i ordered it on 4/2/12.
and still waiting on it.
at first they said it got sent out and it got lost in shipping
now he said he shipped it out. UPS tracking says to be delivered this week (crossing my finger)
hope it comes in one piece and nothing missing lol.

I would cancel your order, there is a reason they are no longer a vendor on this forum.

I ordered over the phone from Showstoppers on a Monday and received it the same Wednesday. I had my shop fit it for my HKS Hi Power Ti and it couldn't look better.

Here are the cuts that were made to make it fit. Very little work needed. They smoothed and sealed it after cutting as well.



Test fit pics







Hope this answers earlier question about fitment. I also printed out Cheston's DIY install instructions found here: https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...tructions.html and gave them to my shop.

so what's the verdict now on Showstoppers? 50/50 reliability? order at your own risk?

it would be nice to have a dependable vendor once again for Asuka/Mastergrade parts.

i doubt RDZ will ever respond to their thread https://my350z.com/forum/body-exteri...rbon-sale.html

Showstoppers probably delivered the diffuser quickly because the buyer is local.
Try being on the east coast and ordering from them.

Vortex generators needed to be drilled.

BoomerZ33 - I would call and place the order on the phone. I got mine for $699 including shipping and taxes.
