does that mean u can sell me your old diffuser?

i dont know about you guys, but WAT!? The amuse sides are pretty high imo, which is pretty much the only reason why i went with INGS Nspec sides.

And i agree with nexx, the diffuser will hold up extremelly well, but will push up when you scrape and transfer stress to your bumper. I have already cracked both sides where it bolts up to the fenders and it looks like spiderman went crazy on my paint.

BUT you will notice, my diffuser looks weird in this pic because contrary to popular belief (kidding), you CAN destroy a CF diffuser. The bottom portion was ripped off driving through a puddle when my neighbourhood was flooded
