Rear diffuser advise

Wanted to get ikon rear diffuser for while now but they are out of stock everywhere
My next option is Vicrez which looks exactly the same as Ikon but it’s $350 compare to $200 from Ikon.
Now there are no name diffusers available on eBay and other sites for $200 and less which also look the same so I’m not sure is it worth overpaying for Vicrez and is it better quality or something
Anyone has any suggestions or experience with Vicrez or these cheap generic diffusers??

Agree but ikon shows also $189. Not sure if that’s the case, maybe it was 2020 prices since it’s been sold out. I’m just wondering if ikon was in fact just branded cheap diffusers sold all over the place.

May well be the case. I bought an Ikon diffuser from Next Gen Speed back in the day, and it is surprisingly good quality for the price. Fitment after 10-15 minutes of tweaking, but no modding, is 99.5% (there is a tiny sliver of a gap in a very short section), and the price was very good, under $200 if I remember correctly.

I bought one a while ago for my ss from icon. It had horrible fitment issues along the bottom corner edges. I took it to 3 different body shops, and none could make it work. It should be on the forums here somewhere. A couple of other people had the same issue, so I reached out to them. Got my refund, and they told me they were going to retool the molding. This was about 3-4 yrs ago, so I hope they fixed it by now, Just a little heads up, also it has 4 notches on the bottom not two, so different style than Arpad. His fitment looks great

Anyone have any pics from up under the car once installed? Like great from the back, but I’m curious of the airflow from underneath. Especially for those that have the suitcase removed and aftermarket exhaust in, leaving the void in the middle. Thanks everyone!!

Here's one I just made. The bottom edge of the diffuser (and the muffler) isn't wavy, it's the phone that is sucking today.

I didn't remove the suitcase but painted it flat black with header paint.

I decided to go with Vicrez option. They are having Black Friday sale and after all discounts comes out only $25 more compare to amazon/ eBay same looking options. Will just hope Vicrez will be better quality and fit compare to generic options, they seem like a reputable shop. Worst case if anything happens they will stand behind their product I hope.

Here is a quick update

Received vicrez rear diffuser and quality is crap
Don't see how it can be any different from generic sold on ebay but they charge twice the price.
Came in with broken clips which looks like from degrading plastic or something and with a huge pile of dust on the plastic wrap like it's been sitting in the warehouse for ages

Sent it back. Don't recommend it.

I’ve got plenty of excellent fitting pieces for various cars over the years from eBay. A part of my mind is usually worried about poor quality/ fitment, non shipment, etc..

I don’t want to jinx it, but that has been my experience.
