AF-1 Aerofunction?????

Hey guys,

I tried searching information about this company on the forum, but I seemed to find very limited info about it. I'm interested in the Aerofunction rear diffuser, and I have a few questions. They describe themselves as a high quality manufacturer.

1. Is this an exact replica of the Arkym Aerosport rear diffuser? It sure looks like it.

2. Anyone buy this? How is the fit and finish?

Thanks!!!!

Change your title if you want more responses!

Here's an official link for the diffuser you're talking abou:
http://aerofunction.com/E92__E93_AF_...P-details.aspx

Here's a place that sells it for $100 less:
http://www.carboncreations.com/exter...fuser-cfp.html

Looks good (but then again, it should since it's their own picture).

Thanks for the links! It really seems as if they are replica Arkym parts, but they seem to have so many distributors for the product. Too bad I can't spot a pic of an actual diffuser installed on anyone's car. How much does the actual Arkym rear diffuser cost?

Thanks for posting! Looks sick! I want it! I have the Vorsteiner type 2, it's too tame for my tastes.

Can I ask how much is MSRP for that piece, and how much discount is typically given for the Arkym? I really think the Aerofunction is just a rip off of that part.

I dont remember how much i bought it for. I got it last July when i bought the car. I think it was around 500 for the rear and 700 for the arkym front lip. Both fitment are perfect and they are really stroooong. My front lip hit so many rocks, pothole and etc and no single scratch or crack, i guess the clear bra made it more durable lol.

Wow, 500? Can you PM me, or post on this thread where to buy it from?

I can't wait to take off the Vorsteiner one and put this on instead. I also got some thick walled 90mm slash cut tips I'm installing with it.

No, I think you did fine. I think they're about 800 in carbon before taxes and shipping. They go for $500 used in good shape around here.
