Talking

As most of you guys know, Skyer diffuser has been in the works for some time now. We encounter some design issues and it's been finally resolved.

Please Vote which would you likely to purchase and see produced.

V1 Design is in ORANGE. It cups over the center piece without covering the center mesh portion. The exhaust cut-out cover is connected to the center piece as one unit. The side extentions are sperated pieces

V2 Design is in Grey. It Covers the center mesh portion. The exhaust cut-out cover is connected to the center piece as one unit. The side extentions are sperated pieces

The Purposes Of This Poll are:

1. COVER THE CENTER MESH OR NOT.
2. PRODUCE SIDE SPLITTER OR NOT.

Multiple Choice!


This is a rough draft so some shapes, curves, details will still be changed;

This is a 3 piece design. Both design are independent of the side splitters. .. So the side splitter can be added on later.

The purchasing option will be

1. Only Center piece
2. Center Piece with side splitter
3. Side Splitter ONLY


Onto the pictures and let your comments FLY!

My vote is V2 with the side blades as that should (hoping) also be able to be used on non M cars as well. There is a company in Europe that makes a diffuser for our cars. I think similar to the factory diffuser that you need to cut the bumper. I am gathering that by the shape of yours that you are trying to get away from that? If this can be used on non M bumpers then that will open up more people to buy. Even an option for just the exhaust out the one side to open up more people. I'd like to see a little more angle on the diffuser personally.

This is for the non-m correct? Since the curve are all different. Are there many doing Quad conversion without converting to OE M rear bumper?

Yes, we are designing the diffuser to be reversible so no cutting necessary.

We will come up with non-m diffuser with only 1 side cut out. It'll open up to a bigger market for sure. Do you have a direct link/url?

Here are the websites for that one.

I doubt many are doing the quad conversion without an M bumper. I am looking to do quad with the original bumper but with one of these style duffusers. I have the wing from you and happy with the product. I guess with what you are planning to do it probably wouldn't work for myself with a quad exhaust and a non M bumper. Are the lines on the bumper that different, or is it just the middle portion that is?

The attached pic is similar to the V1 but on a non M bumper.

V2 and purchase option #2.
Will this clear after-market exhausts? I have Rogue Engineering Diablo mufflers?

I would be interested in the grey option for a non M pre face lift.

Could the outside areas be filled in for complete coverage of the rear valance?

The only issue that I see with V2 is that it may look bad for OE mufflers or non-extended exhaust tips.

That's what I was thinking, even for the M version.

Shit I meant to vote for the full V1, not just the center piece

If I could 100% have my way, I’d lose the exhaust cutouts and not have any wrap-around over the bodywork

Full V1, but I am not likely to remove the current FancyWide on the car...Although if I didn't already have a diffuser I'd wait for this instead.

Thanks guys for all your comments and votes.

Gathering from all sources (IG,FB, other forums), V1 seems to be what most wanted.

Now I just need to fine tune the surface for mounting, accuracy and fit.

Pre-production prep might start in a couple of weeks.
