Question Help with Autokits diffuser?

Hey guys. I need some help plz and fast. There's a autokits v2 carbon fiber diffuser on the PC's that I'm intending to buy. But I don't know for sure if it will fit on my convertible (2012) bumper or not. I've already tried messaging the vendor and calling him at his shop several times but I still haven't gotten thru or a pm response. Can somebody please help!?

Maybe somebody with a convertible who also has a autokits diffuser or just somebody who has this knowledge readily available? Thanks in advance.

My advice is that if the person you are trying to buy it from won't answer or respond to calls/texts/emails, they don't really want to sell it, walk away and wait til you can find someone who will respond.

Thanks for the response NickyP. The problem wasn't with the person I was buying it from tho, he was actually a great guy to deal with. He still has an FI CBE exhaust and some other speaker/amp/stuff FS if anybody needs that stuff his prices are more that fair. The issue I was having was getting ahold of the vendor on site to clarify fitment. The vendor DID in fact get back in touch with me just before the deadline of my "dibs" on the item expired, but sadly even he wasn't sure if it would fit. I went ahead and took the deal blindly hoping that if the VENDOR didn't recall placing separate orders for a convertible or coupe in the past then most likely the models to fit both bumpers are the same?

Nicky maybe you can help reassure me if this logic truly makes sense or if I was just really wanting it to make sense so I could buy the diffuser deal??

Btw the diffuser was sold for $350 shipping included and it came with carbon fiber mirror covers included that the original seller paid $200 for back when they were new. I figure worst case scenario I get the diff in the mail and it doesn't fit, I turn around and post a FS thread and maybe I lose out on shipping costs. Which I'm told were around $45. But if I like the CF mirror covers those will certainly fit.

Btw here's the link to the diffuser and all the other stuff the seller has up for grabs still. I believe on top of the good prices he actually has included free shipping on even the larger items. That's what originally attracted me to the items.

Without clicking to the classified, I know which one you are talking about, I was interested in it but couldn't pull the trigger on the deal. Based on what I've seen in these forums, and the way the new Q60 is listed on the infiniti website, I believe the Coupe and the Vert are the same though I would imagine a stiffer chassis on the vert for structural rigidity. I haven't been a member of the G community for very long though, so I am not 100% certain. Best of luck for you, and if it doesn't fit, let me know .

Ok Nicky brother you got official dibs if it doesn't fit. Did you check out his amp and speaker box tho? Man I would LOVE something like that if it would fit inside the tiny area of truck that's leftover once the top is down. I'm sure it could be done and I may well do it eventuality, but it's not made its way up the priority list just yet. In fact it may be last on the list.

Yeah, I think I want to do other things before I do sound system; front lip (or aftermarket bumper and skirts), diffuser, spoiler (OEM style, to replace the crappy chrome lip thing), and possibly exhaust and coil-overs. That and I want to maintain the ability to fit golf clubs in the trunk.

The website only shows the V2 diffuser for the 08-11 coupe. doesn't specify if it will fit S vs non-s or vert.

It's bought, I've got my tracking number and I'll have to take my chances. Once I do the fit experiment I'll post up n let you guys know. Big thanks to everyone who tried to help out.
