It's a matte fiberglass black however light finishing would be better.

Fed Ex dropped mine off today and this thing looks great. I am planning on installing it this weekend and I will be sure to take pics and post them up here.

First impressions were great. Although fed-ex delivered it a week later than the expected delivery date.

Fitment... not so good. The holes on the CF diffuser did not match up to the clips under the bumper... requiring me to drill 4 holes under the bumper. No big deal...

but the major issue i have is that the top corners dont sit flush against the bumper. I tried 3M double sided tape and the pressure is too great, causing it to unstick. Below are some pictures so you can see what i mean. Also, the mid section that goes behind my license plate bumps out a little bit causing my plate to be an an angle now.

I am going to revisit it again this weekend and see if theres something i can... the diffuser sits flush by the license plate but it seems like it doesn't curve in enough on the outer edges... not sure how to fix this though.

Well, I managed to get the diffuser fit up this weekend. Not what I would consider a 90-95% fitment. After holding it up for the first time, it seemed that very large "hem" along the entire top edge is what is preventing it from sitting nice and tight against the bumper. After cutting the inside edge of the "hem" off, I was left with a small lip to take up any gap there may be. I had to trim a few more spots, and now the edge of the diffuser actually sits pretty nicely in the groove along the bumper.
To help keep it in place, and keep it from sliding outwards like it wanted to, I used bolts instead of the factory style push clips. I went to Autozone and got an assortment pack of license plate fasteners. I had to get it to sit right, in the groove in the bumper, and hold it there while tightening the bolts on the bottom. The material is pretty thin, so the two bolts behind the license plate weren't much help in keeping it in place. Also, I opted to skip the random single hole under the license plate, just in case I take this thing off I dont want that hole there.
So my final impressions, I guess for $130 it isn't too bad. I still would like a little cleaner fit, but whatever.
Anyway, here are a couple pics.....hopefully it works, I haven't posted pics here yet....

Guys thanks for posting up the pics. I do appreciate it..

Scott it looks like removing the inner lip did make it sit more flush. However on the actual Nismo the lip was there. So when replicating it they copied that as well.

Nightmare - as far as having the corners sit flush here on my end a little modification was needed to had it sit completely flush. Also double sided tape does work however I opted to use a polyurethane adhesive to attach the one I had installed on a test car. I will also have pictures of a fiberglass one that was installed this weekend up.

Wow this sits really nice. Mine sits more like Nightmares, where the edges of the diffuser doesn't form around the edges of the bumper. You should post a DIY or something haha.

Are people with fitment issues fitting it to a oem rear bumper? I'm just curious. It is hard to tell from the pics because a lot of the aftermarket rears are very similar to oem.

These diffusers only fit oem coupe rears.
