    I think the rear end of the 360 can look a little plain at times and may be considering adding the lower rear diffuser from the CS. I know they make them in Carbon Fiber and metal painted black. Has anyone installed these? I would think the painted ones should look fine since they probably would get peppered with rock chips etc from below?

    Any pictures you would care to share?

    Thanks !

    Installed on my 360 recently. CF 2x2 weave. I like it a lot! I also did CF 2x2 in the interior.

    Go for it!

    nice. Where did you get these? Any problem with clearance? Do you happen to have a picture of yours with your car on the ground (from rear)?

    thanks!

    At first glance at the photos camera angle, to me it looks like the diffusers are upside down and swapped left to right. Would it look better with the blades of the diffusers above the flat plates?

    They're not. Look at a picture of a CS from behind.

    Hi Gordon,

    They would have a little bit more clearance than a CS, unless you've lowered your car.
    Never had any problem bottoming out with them and they really work. Great on the track with high speed straights and hard braking at the end, very stable.
    They were supplied by F360 Performance Parts, they have a website.
    Ciao

    I've been eyeballing these for awhile. A question just came to mind... Do these tuck under the rear crossmember, or do they sit directly behind it?

    I have the diffs on my bumper and I have lowered my car to CS specs u need to take it easy over the speed bumps or ull get gravel rash this happened the first time I drove my car i like the way the back looks with the diffs so im not worried about them getting damaged as i would just remove them an fix em easy. Im fitting my new 430 exhaust and test pipes so the diffs will be repaired whilst im at it and will glue the nuts and make them captive on the inside of the bumper so when next time I have to repair the diffs I don't need to remove the bumper as they are now there fixed with nut and bolt. I also recessed the bumper so the diffs would sit flush but it's pretty thin there so I couldn't go to deep.

    Oh man they do go way under. Is it the same with the aftermarket ones? I use that rear crossmember to lift the car all the time (temporarily to hold height while I get stands under the rear points)

    You realize that isn't a cross member. It is a hollow tube with the sway bar inside. It isn't very strong.

    It's plenty strong by the side attachment to use with a jack and a wood block temporarily. I wouldn't raise the car from the middle of it... It is also called the rear lower crossmember.

    What company are these parts from? They fit better than on the picture above, because they are not simply smooth in the middle, but adapted to the original diffuser. So they don't hang so far down and almost look like they have always been there.
