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.

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!

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.
