    Thought I had a flat tire yesterday but come to find out the rear diffuser snapped. At >45 mph the plastic or metal part would start to catch air and flapped loudly. Strange that I did not hit anything or run into a parking curb anywhere. Any idea on the cost to replace? It’s not CF and I did not see the part on Ricambi America.

    What appears to have broken is the sacrificial fin part of your defuser.
    I had the same thing happen to me and decided to make a redesigned and better version that was hollow with less than half the weight of the original (the original part is really heavy)

    Let me know if you can’t find new ones and I’ll print you a new fin.

    Novitec makes them in CF. I'm replacing my fins in CF, on order. Something to consider.

    I’m having a difficult time finding them on any website. I’ll make some calls. Nothing else is CF except my steering wheel and paddles so I’m good either way probably. One is broken and the other is missing.

    I'm sorry, I could have posted. They're available separately from Exotica. I've already had them check with Novitec and the holes line up, can work with the stock diffuser.

    Just got this back from Exotica, which sucks. They didn't do their homework well enough before selling me the fins. At least I figured it out that before having then made and shipped.

    "Bob,



    I had a few questions about the fins before I processed the order with Novitec. For one they didn’t have a good link to their install video and there are two holes drilled in the fins for the diffuser part that we wouldn’t want so I wanted to clarify that before I processed your order. Theyresponded to be me that all the parts are made to work with each other and that they can’t be ordered separately even though there is no mention of that in the price guides nor did they say anything when I talked to them about the fins a month or so ago. So the only way to do this is with the fins, diffuser, bumper attachment and rear skirt as one assembly. Sorry for the bad news but I wanted to let you know right away as I heard about it. Luckily I figured this all out before I processed the order."

    I’ll warm up the printer :)

    I assume you need 2?

    There are three fins on the Cali T. Mine are in perfect condition. If I could replace them with CF, I would.
