Hi All,
I have done some search on here but I am looking for more recent experience if any for those who have brought a carbon diffuser or similar for their S4s with this company before committing to buying with them.
Question I have are the following,
1. What they have quoted you included tax + shipping is the final payment with no other hidden fees before receiving the product.
2. Product arrived as described with no defects or problems before installing.
3. Any fitment problems you have encounter resulting refund.
Many thanks and I appreciate your helpful comments.

I bought a front slipper from JC Sportline back in July.

1) No hidden fees.
2) Product arrived as described. It was packaged well and zero defects.
3) Fitment is an 8 out of 10. Nothing major to warrant a return.

Thanks for this!
Did you buy from the US seller? My situation is I have enquired through their website which seems to be directly from china..... not sure if it makes any difference.

I bought a diffuser from them on Ebay for my S5. Shipped from CA. I have no idea if the S4 version is as good as the S5 version. But anyway, It took about an hour to install it. About 45 min to get the stock one off and 15 min to put the carbon diffuser on. Fitment and quality are great. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Except I had to order it twice because they said the first one got lost in the mail. How that could possibly happen to such a big item I have no idea, but beyond that they are awesome to work with.
Sorry my foot is in the last pic..

Hi Extratime,
Thanks for your info, this is the diffuser I am looking at but I just want to gather some feedbacks from people who brought stuff from JC Sportline for their S4s and S5s.
Are you running the 90mm tips and did you had to remove the back bumper for fitting?
Some say you need to remove the back bumper.....
FYI I am currently in touch with JC Sportline head office in China not sure the seller you have brought your diffuser from on eBay act as a distributor in the US.
Many thanks,
Ed

Do you have a link for a CF diffuser specifically for a B8/B8.5 S4?? All I see are products for A4 and S5...which won't fit.

Definitely keep us posted, I'd be all over that rear diffuser for that price if they come out with an S4 specific one.

Yes I have the 90mm awe tips. I did have to adjust the drivers side tips after the install which was a bit of a PITA.
Suprising enough I didn't remove the bumper. It probably would of only taken 30 min to install, but it took awhale to get the first tab started on the stock diffuser. You just got to go for it. Finesse won't work. Trim tools are great to use for this and once the first tab is started the rest just come right out.
I also bought directly from JC Sportline. They have a US distributor in CA. I'd look into that if you're shipping in the US because it's free.

Maybe worth poping them an email to see if they can produce one or if they are in the process of developing.

thought you have 90mm tips, can I ask what was the issue as I will be running the same tips does it definitely need adjusting?
I won't be removing the rear bumper either its too much hassle.
I am pretty much set to buy direct from them as i have gathered a lot of info from them.
cheers extratime!

Adjusting the exhaust was expected. Nothing to do with the diffuser. 102 tips would also fit it no problem. The exhaust is a pita for me because I have a small grange and I got to use jack stands. Getting it to shift left a little and have it stay there required me to loosen everything from the down pipes back. You may not have that alignment issue like I did. I've been dealing with that even with the stock diffuser.

I am trying to gather information from people who have brought parts from this company and see how they feel about this company that's all.

I see I see, the picture on their links on eBay with the black s5 did have aftermarket exhaust but wasn't sure about the tips size. I haven't touch the stock downpipe hope it doesn't cause much issue.
