Default Mastergrade Diffuser

Hi guys.

I'm currently looking for a mastergrade TS rear diffuser, but it seems there aren't that many mastergrade distibutors on this forum. There aren't that many up for grabs on the classified's either.
Does anyone know someone who might be selling one, or any distributors that sell them for a good price?

Thanks

Anyone stupid enough to get anything from Mastergrade gets exactly what they deserve. Search, you'll find dozens of threads about poor quality, not getting orders, and straight up lies.

So your saying im stupid. I've done my research and i know exactly what i'm buying.

1. I'm not buying directly from mastergrade. I'm getting it from a reputable dealer so chances are they have them in stock and i'll get the part.
2. I don't care if the fitment is way off because im going to be hacking and modifying it

Not really worth buying an original TS diffuser just to chop it up now hey?

IF you are lucky enough to actually receive the diffuser AND lucky enough that they didn't ship you one that was already damaged or defective, then maybe...just maybe you might get one that is worth putting on your car.

I'd say a GOOD 80% of ordersfrom Mastergrade either dont come, show up damaged, have a haze in the clear coat, or simply don't fit.

I worked for the company for 4 years and was the person who literally built that company from the ground up again. If they are willing to screw me over, I'm sure as hell they are willing to screw anyone else over.

I understand they have shoddy ethics and products, but i'm not too bothered if the product isn't great. I'm building a track car, not a show car, so if there's a chip or a scratch in it i'm not bothered. I'm going to be spraying the diffuser a different colour to match the livery aswell. Plus i will be modifying it to fit a flat undertray, so if it doesn't fit too well that's not a problem either.

If you know of anyone else who make the TS diffuser for a decent price please let me know and i'll give them a try too!

^after mastergrade, i think you're left with the authentic one (which cost hell of alot!!)..

i've been looking around for another vendor since the issue members been facing with mastergrade, but no one was able to help. even driveline stopped selling those cuz they weren't able to get a hold of mastergrade for thier orders!.

Imagine that, even Driveline is now getting ripped off by this company. They wouldn't be the first distributor that gets money stolen from them by Mastergrade, just ask Jtran/Overdrive in Texas. They are still waiting for a $2000+ order placed in early '09.

Regardless of where you purchase it from, you are still supporting a company who steals from other members and shops on this forum.

sounds like the last shop willing to sell their parts is Showstoppers, and good luck with them ! Their reputation is even worse then Mastergrade from lieing and not fulfilling orders. Although, I doubt Showstoppers is still selling them because that is where Driveline would get their Mastergrade parts from, they were never direct.

Wish another companie would pick up the TS diff and mass produce them. After Showstoppers screwed me over and I blasted them on the forum there really is not any place for the TS left cept the other 2 listed prior.


I know Showstoppers sad service is what banned them but considering the time and what I did I like to think I had somthing to do with it. 8)

ShowstoppersUSA is just as shaddy as Mastergrade. A simple search of "ShowstoppersUSA" will shed some light. Also, check out other forums. Both these companies have been banned from over half a dozen car forums for stealing peoples money and bold face lies. There is a reason neither shop is welcome on this site. If you are willing to take the chance and trust BOTH of those shops to get you a part, then I wish you all the best of luck.

Considering Driveline gets their Mastergrade parts from ShowstoppersUSA, and Driveline stated they do not have a TS diffuser instock I would assume Chuck is just blowing smoke and is just trying to make the sale.

And plus you live in Spain...GL with finding anything reasonable with how everything is rising in prices.
You're new here, so I'll keep it simple. Search "ShowstoppersUSA".

Yes, I have made that clear numerous times. I was also under the vendor name of "Mastergrade" before Boomer decided to skip paying IB and got banned.

ShowstoppersUSA still owes me $500+ in back pay.
Mastergrade owes me over $1000 in past paypal disputes and refunds I had to pay out of pocket.

Both companies will feed you 100% ******** to get an order.
