Johnfromjersey Report post Posted July 15, 2009 who makes the best looking diffuser for the Gallardo? Has anyone compared the carbon weave quality wrap/quality to other carbon diffusers. Ive found various companies offering such as Heffner, RSC, RevoSport, Technocraft. prices all over the place from $1100 to $3000. pics/comments from those who have or have compared these diffusers in person. thanks!

dgsk Report post Posted July 15, 2009 I have an RSC diffuser installed. Wanted to get a more OEM SL diffuser from Heffner but I guess he was too busy with big buck TT mods to reply me on shipping. RSC's version is much more aggressive looking than original. The edges are black and highlights the rest of the CF. The fins are also much more pronounced. The beautiful add-on that comes with the diffuser is the half moon stainless steel plate that is supplied. It is an extremely useful item that sits just below the exhaust tips to prevent the hot vapour dripping onto the CF clear coat which would have melted and deformed. I personally love the look of the diffuser of the Premier 4509. It is subtly elegant. The shallowness of the fins does not give me confidence about their usefulness in cleaning and streamlining the air from below though. The downside is that it needs the fiber glass bumper that comes with it which I am impartial to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGTS Report post Posted July 16, 2009 FYI, as I understand it Heffner offers two different c/f diffusers; one is basically the same as the OEM SL piece, and the other is the same as the regular OEM G only in c/f instead of plastic.

I think the RSC is not full CF, but wrapped, hence the reason for the painted dges? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnfromjersey Report post Posted July 16, 2009 Mark, see link. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...%3D100%26um%3D1 scroll down. looks similar. not sure if its the same with an exta add-on, says its Hamann. I believe they have a few different "kits" and this one was their earliest introduced in 04'. not sure if they still make this version. cant say Im a fan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouleur Report post Posted July 16, 2009 One of my clients just got one from Herschel at RSC, he really likes it. No complaints so far. It is on a Spyder, not sure if that makes a difference or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgsk Report post Posted July 17, 2009 dgsk, Thanks for the info. Not sure its worth more than double what others are charging? I didn't have much of a choice at the time I needed it. And Hershell gave me a competitive price. Jason Heffner didn't get back to me on shipping. My original diffuser cracked and a portion of it chipped off, making the car extremely figidty at speed. An original one would have cost more from my dealer. They didn't even tell me about it, so I don't know when it happened; only when I jacked up the car myself did I see all the tie holds strapping it in place. All that said, I just saw a chip on the top part of my bumper and it was white below. I also found it about the same weight of the original that I replaced. It also didn't have the translucence of the Premier4509 diffuser when put against light. So, is it a wrap? I don't know. As it protrudes more than an SL diffuser, it is definitely more noticeable. So it would be something for those who want a more aggressive looking item. I will be doing a trip with it next Monday and hope I will be able to tell if those enhanced fins do translate to better down force.

Pokie Report post Posted September 10, 2009 OEM, in the UK I can get it £900 ($1476 at current exc. rate) (Mine cost less, but that's me) Are you sure? I thought the carbon fiber rear diffuser cost $10,000 from the Lamborghini factory. Why such a big difference from the U.S. dealership? Thanks!
