I think it is the same as the NISMO actually, just wraped in CF. If you need pics of the mounting points I would post pics for you. Just let me know Klum.

I do know if anyone makes this in CF it will NOT be cheap at all. The hard part of this was getting the CF smooth around the bends. That is why thy discontinued them.

i think this is what ravspec is having trouble with. so far they have the fiberglass version ready (but i dont think its released yet). but they said the cf version is trickier than they thought.

As for the KarumaZ diffuser and the NISMO diffuser... ...the difference in mounting isn't significant. The significant difference between the two is how they fit. If you want the diffuser to fit properly, get the KarumaZ.

If you want the authentic NISMO diffuser, pay the extra and wait a really long time just as I did... ...and then get disgusted with the bad fit and pay again for the KarumaZ replica... ...just as I did.

I have the NISMO bumper and it's perfect fit had me not even question the fit of their diffuser. This is one time when I'd encourage a replica (in this case, the KarumaZ only) over an authentic piece.

I've been looking for CF diffuser for a while. Even offered a finders fee. The ONLY one that I've found, thanks to the help of others, was the Top Secret one, but it's like $1,000 for just the diffuser in CF. RAVSPEC is supposed to be working on one, but it's going on like 3 months now. I don't want one in anything but CF, but i'm about to give up.

And it was only, what... ...$100-$150 more than their fiberglass one? I would have snatched one up but I really wanted the diffuser to be satin-black. The CF just wasn't dark enough with my IP, for me. I've been extremely happy with the fiberglass one and know that the KarumaZ replica fits better than not only the authentic one, but also better than any other option to date.

Damn, I sure did, didn't I? ...Consistently too. Thanks. I'd rather feel embarrassed for a second than to walk around all day with a booger hanging.

BTW, you got a little something hanging there
