RKP = Revinora ??? + badass center diffuser

mstmng · 01-26-2014, 06:47 PM

Anyone knows who made this lip first? RKP or Revinora? and what is the difference between them?
besides that RKP obviously has amazing built quality (Revinora claims as well) and IND has awesome photographer, not on par to Revinora's one

Anyways, check this center diffuser! i know Challenge Center Diffuser is amazing, but this looks BADASS! Especially the Tri-Fin (as shown on pics), they also offer two-fin and fin-less!

Anyone seen with their eyes or ever heard of them? Would you consider!

That rear Diffuser is a little too aggressive IMO. Doesn't suit this car.

dhirm5 · 01-26-2014, 06:56 PM

Does a diffuser do anything beyond looks?

to each his own, maybe those fins stick down just a little bit too much for my taste

Revinora is not affiliated with RKP at all. The Revinora front lip just fills in the front area wheres the RKP
protrudes out a bit giving it a more aggressive look.

I've seen the Revinora diffuser in person and the two that i've seen were both cracked
due to the way it point down so far. It really isn't practical and honestly it pretty ricey.

And the RKP lip is 100% bolt-on. The Revinora lip requires drilling to the OEM bumper cover.

Agree too aggressive for M5
It is not a GTR -; )

A diffuser increases the downforce generated by the airflow on the underbody of the car. Should make the car corner at higher speeds.

Pazzo009 · 01-26-2014, 09:26 PM

Sorry...too aggressive for that car. Belongs on a Ferrari or Lambo

6spdterror · 01-27-2014, 06:07 AM

Wayy too agressive for our cars. On an Rx-7, NSX or Supra...yes.

Goranot · 01-27-2014, 08:37 AM

Totally agree ..too too aggressive not meant for M5..distracts too much

N.S.A · 01-27-2014, 03:27 PM

The M5 is so pose to be little bit more classy than that. That diffuser is so aggressive that it actually kinda makes the M5 look ugly from behind, my own bias opinion sorry.

They create quite a bit of downforce and make a massive difference.

The ones you can buy for an M5 doesn't help that much though..

Have they been tested in a wind tunnel? Are they engineered to create downforce? I really don't think so but I could be wrong.

Was talking about rear diffusers in general, not this monstrosity in the tread.

Thats why i said diffusers do nothing but the look, talking about the once made for our type of cars!

The revivora lip/chin was made first . There are manny people I know is the so cal area . No drilling AT all is needed . Just double sided tape. Also, the RKP points down, instead of ahead . Meaning, if u scrap it, it will go under the car, instead of over the on ramp or so.

We had to use two screws to get the Revinora lip to fit properly on the M5. I also had concerns about the overall quality and Ilia@IND called the owner at Revinora to give them a heads up on the issues.

In regards to the RKP lip ground clearance the RKP front lip does not lower the M5’s ride height as it does not extend past the lowest point of the front bumper.
