I purchased this diffuser from Nextmod in Markham, Ontario. They carry the entire kit.

It can also be ordered for US customers here: CK Style Rear Diffuser For 2018-2020 KIA Stinger

I've been looking for something more substantial and aggressive than just the center portion that is offered by M&S and Maxton but didn't want to spend the big bucks on Zest or Stillen. This is a good alternative as it was $395 CAD shipped and it arrived in 2 days.

Fitment: 3/5 - There is a gap in the center portion that is to be filled with a rubber strip they provide but it doesn't stick well and some may not like the look of having that in there. I ended up having to use a pliable adhesive to keep the rubber in place. There are also no instructions included or published online so it took me longer to install than it should have. It does come with all of the mounting hardware and reuses all of the pop clips in the stock diffuser.

Appearance: 4/5 - The kit comes finished in gloss black but it's not a painted gloss black like my Maxton pieces but a plastic finish. I had to polish each piece with my rotary polisher to remove some scuffs and cloudiness. Once cleaned up and mounted though I think it looks really good. It sits lower so that you can't see the battery box from the back of the car, something I disliked. The added lip also allowed me to move my tips further out.

Overall i'm happy with it. I like the look and it didn't break the bank.

FYI - Kia splash guards won't fit with this kit

Apart from the rubber seal I like the look, thanks for sharing!

Thanks. You could omit it but you’d have a small gap there. Hard to notice the rubber unless you’re up close.

Looks good -Is it a 3 piece? Or a one piece? ( hard to tell from the pics)

3 piece. They show a pic of it pre-installed on the Bayson site.

I ordered some better rubber stripping from AliExpress. It should be more glossy and less noticeable.
 
Really liking this diffuser. Took some more photos today.

Did you also buy the front lip and the side skirts from them? I’ve been looking at their pieces and they look fairly decent for the price I have to say

No. I have the Maxton front spoiler and side skirts. Really happy with them.

There is a guy in the Canada Stinger FB group that has the whole kit and likes it. He's the one I got the contact info from for this vendor. The only thing i'd wonder about is the quality of the finish. It was ok for a rear diffuser but for something on the front or side's i'd want a nicer finish.
 
First off, I would like to say that looks amazing. I can’t even see the rubber strip you put on. Can you link it?

also, I think you’re Stringer script is a bit crooked at the end...
Thanks! The link is in the first post. To order from Nextmod you'd have to contact them on FB or you can email Peter. Peter@nextmod.com

The script is straight, just the angle of the photos. I used a laser level on it because that stuff annoys me! The one thing that is off is the outer right exhaust tip. I had adjusted them before taking the photos and noticed it after posting them.

Thanks! I’m gonna pick some pieces up locally. Did you have a link to the glossy black weather stripping you bought from Ali?

Finally they have a video installation instruction

I didn’t paint the diffuser I have. It comes in gloss black so just kept as is.
