I want one so if you buy. get 2 :-)

With all the dealers here in south florida you can call, you better check!

You've got South Motors, Deel, Esserman, gunther, and like 1 or 2 more before you get past Sample Road!

I'm sure ONE of these places has them cheaper than that!

just so you guys know, those 20 diffusers are sold. I work for vw, and am trying to get a diffuser for my car at the moment, the votex diffuser with out a exhaust cut out is NLA, and the one with the cut out is basicly NLA, I am trying to pry one out of the hands of a dealer who has one in stock and is not sold. but the other 20 or so are still listed as available, but are at dealers sold waiting for pickup.

they also have 5 sets of votex side skirts available according to parts availability, but all of those are sold too, I tried to order them last week when I ordered my bumper, and diffuser, I only got my bumper. and a phone call saying that the other parts were NLA.


edit:

I just ordered a diffuser from 1st VW Parts . com as well as the one Im trying to get threw vw, if I end up with two I will put the second of the for sale forums here to help other members out. (price will be the price I payed at 1st VW Parts . com + there shiping + shiping to you)

I don't know....but a full on side picture would be nice so I could see the difference from the stock bumpers.

I can't say that I like the back and the front that is perhaps why I only have the front.

Before



After


Thanks to Albionfc for the above picture

[BEETLETHIS]

but you have to realize that these are not real turbo s bumpers our rear deffuser is off the body more and our side vents in the front bumper are not round they flow with the car body style more..... but none the less it still looks good

[BEETLETHIS]

to try and find the real one is really hard now and it is 900 from the dealer if they can get it!!!

[Downtown Turbo]

Can someone post a pic of the diffuser with the exhaust cutout?

I already have my kit but dislike my downturned exhaust (even if it is more stealthy lol)

[SMG]

Kind of a crappy pic I took test-fitting for some dual 3.5" tips.

[Downtown Turbo]

Thanks SMG.

Dammit, so they are all gone? 1st VW Parts doesn't ship to Canada... I wonder if they will ship to the UPS Store in Niagara Falls, NY (Apparently ppl ship all kinds of stuff: even large items like rims etc. and they just charge you for storage until you can get over there). Anyone willing to hook a brother up with a shipping addy?

ooooooor you could order it from your dealer for the same $45 price and not pay $100+ in shipping....

I thought that was a real exhaust for quite some time!
