Has anyone purchased the rear 3rd brake light diffuser from Russia? Any feedback on the quality and fitment? I'm slightly hesitant to buy from them again because i bought a wing for $240, got here and there was a horizontal crack that was around 7 inches and it only got longer. Seller told me to apply epoxy.. the diffuser with 3rd brake light I'm looking at is $300 shipped to the USA. Any other recommendations? Preferably a local business (I'm in Los Angeles). Thank you
 
Veritas, my car is being installed with this diffuser as we speak. There are no instructions with it so you have to figure it out on your own so make sure to take it to a good shop. I test fitted the diffuser and the bumper needed to be cut for clearance for the 3rd brake light. Not a big deal.

The two reflectors need to be removed then you bolt the diffuser with two screws in this area to the existing ABS bumper. There are also 4 holes on the underside of the diffuser that uses factory holes. The contour of the diffuser seemed to be really good and it includes a rubber U channel that is applied to the edge that should conceal slight gaps. The fiberglass did need a bit of prep work to get it ready for paint, or in my case hydro dipping with carbon fiber.

I might have the car back by this weekend and I will post pictures. I am having a lot of other work done so I can finally make a garage for my ride.

Veritas, below are pictures of my installed diffuser. It looks awesome. My shop did say it took over a couple hours to install correctly. The contour against the bumper was excellent with the U channel gasket giving the edge a nice finished look. Hopefully the U channel will hold up well in the Florida sun.

Cost for the prep, paint and installation on the diffuser was $300. The carbon fiber Hydro dip process was another $120. Not cheap but I am really happy with the look.

If it stops raining here in Florida I can take some pictures of all my upgrades and finally build my garage.

WOW it really looks great!!!!! Did they connect the light? If so is it halogen or LED? Also, how long does it take to arrive?

PJQ50, there is a spare connector in the cars wire harness right behind the light where it plugs in. I assume it is normally there if you need to connect to trailer light for towing. To be honest I did not actually check if it works. I think it is a LED.

I ordered one for my fx50s and it took 4 month and came unpainted and worst service but its cool, not the straightest but doable this spring getting it wrapped in carbon blue. so around 700 total kinda spendy but will look cool.
