Wicked Diffuser?

I've never heard of this company before and they are selling a carbon diffuser that looks identical to the Werks1 carbon diffuser. Plus, the pictures are from champion motorsports. WTF is going on with this??

Wicked Motorsports specializes in remanufacturing salvage title Porsches.

It appears they are in the knock off market now as well, as most of those photos appear to be either photoshops of Champion's promotional photos outright copies.

I don't understand their business either. Their prices are too high for replica kits.

Radicalsr3 is on a distinguished road
yeaaa

These guys are sketchy, I tried doing business with them before but there were too many complications, these guys sound like they really don't care about returning customers, they kinda blow you off after they have already sold you something

I can't tell you how many people have called me FURIOUS that the diffuser they ordered 6 months ago from Wicked has not yet been delivered.

I've asked dozens of times for them to remove our photos from their site but I never get replies.

All I can say is....BUYER BEWARE.

I can tell you 1st hand that werks one is well worth the $$. Their splitters and diffusers put up with much abuse and dont crunch on the slightest of mishaps. I wish I could say the same for some of the CF I purchased for my vettes - you could blow on the CF pieces and they would crumble.

This plagiarism seems to be a common occurrence... Had pics of my P. ride used by a very large board sponsor saying it was one of their front ends when I actually bought it from Wicked... not from this board sponsor!

2 wrongs don't make right, but I'm just saying...

I agree - a quick letter from CM's lawyer may do it alone.
