Same, I just had my Carbon Diffusor wrapped, but a plastic would be ideal.

Zubek Was nice enough to tell me where he purchased his plastic diffuser. Sterckenn is the manufacturer and distributor in EU and IND is the distributor in the US.
https://ind-distribution.com/product?sku=SN-F10-D1 You can select plastic under finish. IND currently lists it for $568 |

Thanks for the instructions. I finished my center m performance diffuser. Fits like a glove. Broke some clips off the stock ones. No biggie won’t be going back on any time soon. Nylon washers are a no brainer.

I used these, i got the M10 ones and are perfect. I know the thread is only M6 but the original washers are large and smaller nylon ones would look stupid and also give a smaller mating surface, potentially damaging the carbon.

I love these centre diffusers... I'd like a gloss black one? Any recommendations?

This was an extremely helpful thread.
As mentioned in this thread, I had to use a nylon pry bar to undo the diffuser from the bumper. I couldn’t figure any way to undo the clips that hold the factory plastic piece in place without taking it off And being able to work from the outside towards the middle from the back of the diffuser |

Here is a plastic option I've been looking at. I would prefer a paint matched one piece rear diffuser myself.

Agree with the others here. 30 minute job. Fairly simple. T27 torx bit (though I stripped the bolts going back in - maybe it's slightly bigger than T27?) and an angled panel removal tool will make this an easy job.
I removed the screws first, which I think actually hurt me. I would remove the 4 tabs from the side first. Then go around prying the center from the rest of the diffuser using your panel removal tools. |

I just did this and my vote is to remove the entire diffuser and then the center section. After reading this thread, I tried to remove the center section without removing the entire diffuser. I understand several people did that without breaking any tabs but mine would not release after apply a good deal of force with the appropriate tools. I did not want to find out where that limit is and just pulled the entire thing off, only to be surprised how easy that was.
Moral of the story is that it is VERY easy to remove the entire diffuser. No need to fight/force things from under the car to get just the center section out IMO. Then you will have the needed space to stick a screw driver into those 4-5 tabs and release them without damaging either side. If you break off one of the tabs from the painted section, that would not be good.
