It's usually a hit-or-miss when it comes to DD's products. What's wrong with the clearcoat?

I just wanted another coat, there were a few scratches from the mold process that are gone as a result, not that they were noticeable until I really scrutinized the piece with the shop owner when I brought it over. DD has great aesthetics, so I decided to take a chance with them even though I've read 50/50 reviews of their E90 diffusers.

[QUOTE=junkie90;13934544]I've been debating about ordering DD's diffuser for some time now but the more I research and read reviews I've decided against it and for good reasons too.

what have you heard? Im going to order a quad one soon.

I heard/seen that you only have to dremel the tabs a bit to make them thinner to fit

Yeah, I found a thread with instructions concerning the OEM M-Performance CF diffuser and they got it nearly perfect, it was just the bottom portion where it doesn't quite line up flush so my shop is ordering some materials, I think a bit of touch up paint and maybe some ABS-welding kit to make it flush. I got total confidence in him and his crew. They've done excellent work so far. I should be getting my skirts painted and installed after ALMS next weekend. Can't wait for that!

Honestly, I wouldn't even respond to an ad that didn't include pictures.

They got him out of the room covered in blood and took him to the hospital just now...

But it seemed to be just a place for everyone to gather and hangout.

Saw lots of sick cars out tonight! I believe it happens at the first Friday of every month.

Nice. Didn't make it out, but was in Milpitas later. Great turnout there.
