Performance Diffuser Install

DC_Oldboy · 07-12-2013, 08:12 PM

Just throwing this out there but...

Wondering if anyone near where I live or know a good shop closer to me that can help me install my diffuser? Yes I know there's Collision Specialist in kent and I had all my cosmetic parts done there but it's too far to install just a diffuser and I don't have time to go there. Willing to pay for your time if you want. Thanks!

It's easy to do yourself, just bolts on and maybe some 3m tape if you want extra security.

Easier said then done lol. But yeah I'm working on it now. Took the bottom screws off but having trouble taking the clips off. I'm taking a break now LOL!

Can't wait to see it on your car! The other day I was browsing your garage photos and thought the perf diffuser would add a nice touch

Thanks man!

Yeah it's one of my last mod that I need to complete the look!

But my god it was a TOTAL PITA to get it installed!

The clips were giving me a hard time and I accidentally broke my LCI diffuser while taking it out. Then I had to trim/cut the inside of the bumper.

After it was all done, I have a few small scratches on the bumper and the fitment isn't that great, maybe 8.5/10. It's either because I'm trying to install OEM diffuser on a REP M Sport bumper or I didn't do a good enough job.. Probably because I sucked LOL. Oh wells I'm still happy I finally put it on. At least I have the experience now.

That's the diagram I used but I ended up cutting a little more than it described because my diffuser still didnt fit. No biggie though.

DC_Oldboy · 07-13-2013, 04:20 PM

Just follow that first. You'll know if you need to trim more or not when you test fit the diffuser without snapping the clips in. Actually if you cut less, it wouldn't snap in so no need to worry a out that.
