$559 + $110 shipping from eBay for just the diffuser.

I didn't buy the tips yet.

Says GSF, and not compatible with 2015 GS 350, can we confirm that is or is not the case?

I clarified with the seller before ordering. They said it is compatible with the Fsport model.

Just wanted to give you guys an update since it's been 4 weeks since I ordered it.

I spoke to them 1.5 weeks ago and they said it should've been able to ship out by the end of last week, but it didn't. Emailed them again just now and it seems like they are on vacation this entire week for China's Golden week. They also had days off mid September for the Mid Autumn Moon Festival. Looks like it won't ship out until week 5.. maybe later. And I probably won't get the diffuser for another 2 weeks after it ships, so all in all I'm estimating 7 weeks for the total time.

Looks like I just ordered it at a bad time with all these holidays so close together.

I'll post back when the diffuser ships.

Another update:

It looks like they finished making it yesterday, but can't ship it out yet due to their national holiday. They sent me pictures of the finished product. One of the fins didn't look straight and I emailed them about my concerns and am waiting for a reply (probably by tomorrow).

Even though the diffuser is a little late, I'm very impressed by their customer service and speed of their updates/replies.

Yes the diffuser would fit all years of the 4gs, bumper is the same. That is a really nice diffuser for the price, why not buy it and let us know how it goes
So it says GSF, we do feel like it would work on any 4gs? Minus the tips of course.

Week 5 update:

They finally responded with my concerns about the bent fins. They claim it's straight and it was due to the angle in which the photos were taken. I then asked when it would be shipped and they have yet to answer. They usually reply within 1 business day, but they didn't reply today. Going to have to wait until ~4am tomorrow to see if they reply.

Maybe I'm just being impatient, but this is turning into a headache. They said it would be in my hands by the end of Sept / first week of Oct.

I wanted to clear coat it and install it before it gets too cold and the time frame is shrinking.

I think you're within reason as it is the second week of october which is out of the time frame they said they were going to take. I ordered a wald spoiler form the ukrain and it shipped within the expected dates thank goodness so i feel like as a company even over seas you should have a good business model as well as customer satisfaction. im sure your thoughts on the company would be alot different if they were a little better at communicating.
