Picture Request : APR Diffuser

Anybody have more pics besides these on your evo? If you do own this diffuser what do you think of it? Have any trouble with dirt and debris resting on top of the diffuser and inside the bumper? In the one picture it looks like theres enough gap for some dirt and debris to get kicked up by the wheels and settle in there. Only reason why im asking is because my evo is my daily driver and not sure how it would hold up in the winter and ive never seen the diffuser on an evo in person...







anything will be helpful...thanks guys

yeah, i have the APR diffuser in carbon fiber on my car. I love it! It's my daily driver, too. I haven't had any trouble yet but I only had it put in about a month ago. I will post photos later. I think it looks sweet though and it definitely makes that plain IX rear bumper look very aggro.

I have one installed on my 05 for about 2 months now, and I removed it last month to get a dynotune. There was a ton of debris stuck in there! And most of it found it's way into the vertical vains (they are hollow, at least on the CF model I have) It took a while to clean out. I'm in NY so I do plan on removing it for the winter because I do feel the snow will build up in there, and possibly crack it under the weight. When I take it off I plan on filling the top opening to the veins with silicone to prevent debris from collecting in there. Other than that I ove the look and the quality of it. I can't state any top speed or stability gain yet, I have not been past 130 or so since installing it.

That thing is hot! I saw another thread a few months ago showing (very) small performance gains too in the top speed department. hmm.

I just installed mine last week. Fitment sucks on this piece. I messed with it for several hours and this the result. I know fiberglass products never fit like they should but I thought a product like this (price and company) should fit a bit better.




This is were the fitment sucked. I noticed another board member had the same issues Notice how it doesn't line up with the edge on the exhaust cutout.


No more ARP products for me.
