Racing Sport Concepts g80 Carbon fiber diffuser

I just came across this website Autocouture motoring and they have a carbon fiber g80 diffuser. Look oem style. They have an upper regular diffuser and lower diffuser covering the visible metal exhaust. The price for either is 1,700 and some change. I was just wondering what are your thoughts on the product and if any of you have purchased anything from them?

Their products have been sold out for months.

I ordered their front lip and was given a 10 week ETA. There are a lot of shortages due to the current situation

I ordered their lip when it was unveiled. I was told ten weeks as well when I ordered it at the end of July. I received it late but every part that I ordered for this car has seen delays, especially the car itself. My RSC lip is sitting in my living room, quality is fantastic. It took about four months to receive.

AutoCouture is legit. No worries there. They do all the work on my cars. Matt and the guys are great. My car is going in at the end of this month to have a KW has kit installed. I havent seen the diffuser yet but I have seen the RSC front lip on Autocouture's shop car and it looks amazing. Most companies seem to be experiencing delays at this time.

Assuming nobody has taken delivery and/or installed this rear diffuser yet? I emailed Auto Couture to confirm which pieces are included in the upper and lower RSC diffusers and waiting to hear back, but RSC's website explains it as a 3-piece set so I assume it would be the main center fascia and the side skirt on both sides. If it's at all helpful, I know the RSC lower diffuser only fits with the RSC upper diffuser so you would have to buy both (~$3,500) if you want to cover up the clunky exhaust box.

I purchased and have already installed the M Performance kit, including the absurdly overpriced rear winglets so I am hoping this RSC system fitment is compatible. Otherwise, I am going backwards with this build because I have to cover that exhaust box. It's driving me crazy seeing it every morning.

Already asked if it is compatible with the M performance diffuser and it is not.

Apologies, I should have been more clear. I understand the RSC lower diffuser is ONLY compatible with the RSC upper diffuser and will not fit the M Performance diffuser, OEM diffuser (black plastic) or the OEM carbon diffuser that comes with the M Exterior Carbon package. However, do we know if the M Performance rear winglets will fit with the RSC upper and lower diffusers?

^ I could not get a straight answer from RSC. Apparently "they don’t have anyone who’s used the M-Performance Side Spats with their diffuser. They think it would fit, it could require some trimming. There is also the chance the carbon weaves wouldn’t match." However, I went ahead and ordered the RSC upper and lower diffusers anyway. I will report back on fitment and CF weave compatibility when I go to have everything installed.

Kudos for testing the unknown waters! Did they give you an ETA for the parts?

They did not, but I'll ask. Maybe 2024

Confirmed with AUTOcouture: "you should see this late February or around early March."
