rear diffuser

[embryoguy@mac.com]

anyone add a rear diffuser ?

any good sources ? saw some options on ebay but they are outside the country.

is it easy to install?

[RandallNeighbour]

I have them. Bought off eBay but from a US source.

They're a total pain in the butt to put on the car without taking off the bumper first. I can be done though because I did it. I just wouldn't recommend it!

They really make the back end look a LOT better if you ask me.

embryoguy... let me guess. Fertility specialist?

[embryoguy@mac.com]

yes. thanks for the info. i really want to add one. i thought it would just be a bolt on kind of thing. do you remember where you bought it? retail or...

does my license plate give it away? haha

im also interested in switching out my red third brake light out to a match the gray part of my tail light. anyone do this ? it looks like just a plug in thing.

I always found Kokeln Racing's carbon fiber rear diffuser an interesting piece. Unfortunately, there are very few photos of it. And at the time, Kokeln could only provide me with the images that were on their site. Its far from inexpensive, however, from what I've heard it seems to be a high quality piece that they fabricate in house.

On tap and will be ordered by this up and coming month. Stay posted!

Do you have a link to where you bought yours unpainted?

It was several years ago off eBay...don't recall the seller, but kind of remember being out of Florida? Best part is it's non-permanent...everything I do to my car can be put back to stock. I actually installed these to hide the lower portion of the muffler, which does a pretty good job...sorry about the poor picture quality.

Like Randall, I bought a set new/already painted on Ebay, but then found the same seller had a website that was a few dollars less. I also bolted them on without taking the bumper off. Actually I never thought of taking it off. Maybe it would have been easier, but it really wasn't too bad. Here is the website in case you are interested:

I really think they look good on a 986!

I also just switched to the smoked LED 3rd brake light from a different Ebay seller, and it was plug and play. They said sometime you need to cut and swap the wires (polarity issue), but that it is uncommon.

Good luck.

embroguy... why are you piddling around with a 986?

My friend (who's also fertility specialist) makes enough to keep a brand new 911 in the garage as a weekend toy. Holy cow people are willing to shell out a lot to let you get them pregnant!

they sell it for $275 painted...not a bad deal at all! if these are a DIY install, I'd be up for a pair!

[MN 986]

I agree that it was a good deal for painted diffusers. I haven't attached pictures before, but I'll try to include is a picture from last summer of mine installed (before the smoked 3rd brake light). I think they go well with the Aero II side skirts I found on Ebay about this time last year.
It is fun to look at these pictures because the Boxster is still 'under cover' for at least a few weeks until the roads clear. :ah:

three porsche s in the family. working my way up i guess

im not a car guy like most of you guys. so i find myself asking more ignorant questions.

thanks guys for the links/info.

i was worried about the potential polarity with the third brake lights. but im going to add the diffuser from MNs link. thanks! bolt on sounds alot better than taking off my bumper .
