Aftermarket carbon diffuser

Other than MP, any recommendations for an aggressive aftermarket that fits well and matches the OEM carbon spoiler pattern?

Never bought anything on here but assume it’s a knock off. It looks good though and cheap enough. Thoughts?

The product description is intentionally false and misleading. The seller uses the word "Mode" to create confusion between their product and carbon fiber products sold by Mode Carbon (modecarbon.com).

I suppose not a problem in and of itself so long as you know what you're getting in to (and obviously you do).

I don't have any CF on my M5, but I have another car with every piece of carbon available. I personally wouldn't go with these products, even if they're slightly cheaper.

EDIT — went back and dug a little dealer, this is certainly a no name knockoff part.

Yeah, I know I’ll likely be better in the end ordering the real thing. That authentic Mode Carbon Trophy Diffuser is my favorite I think thus far. Very aggressive. Of course, very expensive as well but aren’t they all ( the authentic ones anyway )

Speaking of mode carbon: Anyone have experience with the them? A quick search reveals some concerning mixed reviews. I did reach out to them yesterday to inquire about fitment and got a quick affirmative response and told they had in stock to ship 24 hrs, but. . .

Ordered from them a few months back. Quick turnaround, part showed up as promised. Looks great on the car, zero issues!

Not usually a fan of high kick spoilers, but your's looks amazing!
