Exclamation Diffuser Design Poll..

Skyer Z4 diffuser design POLL.

Hey guys, need your help and opinions to finalize the fin design!

NOTE: This is poll is just about the middle piece, this diffuser has exhaust surrounds and end splitters.(Still undecided to develop end splitters/exhaust surrounds as separated pieces or the diffuser as one whole piece)

Please look at ALL pictures and read all Instructions before voting below..

♦The 4-Fin design matches the OE under stray diffuser in spacing. It acts as an extension of the OE tray and is ~2 inches long below the bumper.

��1. The top of the fins are cosmetics. Separated by the BLUE line. Please indicate if you want the fins to cup OVER the BLUE line (like the prototype right now) or just have fins UNDER it..

��2. If you voted OVER, do you prefer the over fin length to be FULLY extended to the end of the grille or gradually sloping to the HALF point indicated by the YELLOW line.

��3. If you voted OVER, what is the shape at the top of the fin you prefer? Rounded or Angular indicating by the RED line. (Prototype is angular now)



✅[UNDER]
✅[OVER, FULL, ROUND]
✅[OVER, HALF, ANGULAR]
✅Or any other suggestions

✅✅VOTE BELOW ���� Comment. Your Opinion is welcome..

Hey Bruce,

Thank you for the kind words.

I do go down quite a bit pre-COVID. Once the border opens, I will be down and about..

We can sure meet up for a chat and I know quite a few Z4er in and around your area.

This will be, like all Skyer products, full carbon fiber and fully reversible.

Carbon fiber front lip will be next after the diffuser..

Please help me select your preference on the poll (#2 option) in this case, for ease of calculation..

Zed4Mr, echoing Racerbruce above, thanks for the amazing products you create for our cars. I've got the Coupe spoiler and the side blades, can't wait for the Carbon fiber front lip!

Voted for the over, full & angular option, this diffuser is going to look amazing like all of your other works of art, cheers.

Voted #2 (over, full, angular). I’m sure this diffuser will be just as awesome as all the others Skyer has provided the Z4 community. I have all of them (except the side top covers - only because I don’t mind the open space in there) and can say quality is 💯

Interesting design choices! It looks like this may actually add function, which would be important to me. I'm also curious about how/where this will fit relative to the piece that is currently under the rear grille.

Awesome work, thanks for doing it!

This will bolt onto the 4 existing OE screw that's there.

Greetings ZeD -
Very interested; is there a ROM cost range yet?

I know quantity totally affects pricing.

I'll jump on this, no matter what final design you go with. But Over/Half/Rounded would be best.

I'm interested but I would not do it just for appearance. It would need to add function. And from the mockup it is hard for me to see if that is the case.
