RKP design but I don't like how it doesn't fit flush. Plus the fact on the left and right edge come down past the bumper.

The RKP diffuser was designed for this specific reason. With the M-performance diffuser you can only see the carbon from behind the car. The RKP diffuser is slightly more aggressive and the carbon can be seen from the side profile.

I mostly mean the bottom part that is cut at the wrong angle that doesn't match the bumper. However that would also make the angle of the rest of the vertical carbon slats probably wrong too, so not sure what the best way would be to make it look right.

I recommend checking out one in person when they start to ship.

The M-Perf looks much better.
The RKP looks lower quality and the fit looks amateur. Sorry, but it looks tacky.

Any of these going to cover the entire bottom profile of the bumper? Like the 3D Design pieces on the F82?

I wish the M-Performance didn't have the kink in the middle. That would be my preferred look.
