      Manufacturers supply these super expensive parts to these influencers/Shills for FREE ! funny how they don’t mention that.
      When I watch these TH-cam videos and they don’t state that they paid for whatever they are reviewing with their own money I disregard the review because they’re playing to the manufactures selling their gift of gab for their product hoping to get more (Free) from other manufacturers, truly just an audition for more free stuff from other manufacturers

    Perhaps ACS should offer two versions. This one is kinda mild and probably not very effective as a ground effects. Maybe they should also offer a more aggressive one that would have some actual rear diffuser effect that can actually be felt at speed.

      You have to remember boys and girls the manufactures send these things out for FREE to these influencers/shills so when you see them adding on thousands and thousands of dollars worth of plastic stick on with tape crap it’s because they get it for FREE !!! Only thing we mortals can do is to have our own channel and start selling your integrity so you can get all this free stuff and start living the dream

    I noticed that ACS has this diffuser in white too. I was just curious as to what made you go with black? I have a torch red C8 and I am undecided as to whether to go with the red of black diffuser.

    • @nrdemon1031

      You could also do carbon fiber and have a wrap shop do some red accent wrap would also look unique and great.

    • @BrinkofSpeed
      @BrinkofSpeed  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well my c8 isn’t white for one thing, it’s Ceramic Matrix Gray. But also, I don’t like it to contrast with the stock diffuser at all, that’s just not my thing. If the fins only were colored, I would probably like that, but not the whole piece.

    Generally speaking, ACS Composites aftermarket parts are so clean and the fit/finish is incredible. I have their 1VM front splitter, 1VM side skirts and rock guards on my C8. I am disappointed that GMs Z51 front splitter is such a piece of junk compared to the ACS product. Earlier today I actually had a Chevrolet employee asking me where I got my parts from when I had my car serviced and he had the same observation. Seriously, and to your point, why can’t GM do better with this? Joseph at ACS is an awesome guy and so easy to work with. I personally dealt with him when I ordered my parts a year ago. Thanks for the video and content, Mike. 💪🇺🇸

    • @BrinkofSpeed
      @BrinkofSpeed  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You are correct, they always look so great! It is a shame that we buy 100k cars from GM and they put crap aero pieces on them. It really blows my mind! Oh well, Joe and ACS is always there to fix what GM lacks in development. 👍😊

    • @BrinkofSpeed
      @BrinkofSpeed  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Too much is relative. ACS doesn’t treat anyone like suckers, they are a business that knows their customers really well. They’ve been doing this a really long time. Again, it’s relative, if you’re take a look at pieces for any Lambo, Ferrari, McLaren, etc…they are many thousands for these type of parts.
