Default All 3M double sided tape.

My rear spoiler and rear diffuser were put on without putting any holes in the car. I did both installs and both have stayed on the car without any problems. I posted some pictures of the diffuser install on the original thread.

Is the diffuser on the car CF? And is it the second run of the product? I know that there was a MAJOR problem with the fitment on the first run. I have th urathane version on my car and would upgrade if the CF fit as well as the urathane. Is there a gap at all or does it fit snug and tight?

I put it on myself. It was a little bit of a chore but the end result was worth it. A little common sense and some patience and the positive feedback from the people that see the car make it all worth it.

It is carbon fiber, yes. I got one from the first run and one from the second run. Both fit equally poorly. I ended up cutting out some of the support from the 2nd one and installing it but I could have done the same with the first. I'll sell it for $250+ shipping if anyone wants a project

Fit and finish was actually really good. I am very picky so there was some minor sculpting under the vehicle to work with the SLP Loudmouth Exhaust but overall I am very pleased.

Its the same length as the stock bumper overall but completely different look to the car. Match that with the Tigershark front end and its a unique vehicle. Not to everyone's liking but it's mine and I am happy. It's what I want.
