Default Diffuser Kit Installed

About a week or so back, after installing a new exhaust filler plate, I sent a picture to a good friend. When he responded back, he offered me a free Diffuser Kit. He had ordered two a couple years back, one for his Vette at the time & one for his daughter's. However, before they arrived, his daughter decided she wanted him to install a complete body kit instead. As a result, he could no longer use the diffuser kit and it's been sitting on a shelf ... until now. Figured I'd try them out to see how they looked. They were silver, I painted them yesterday and installed them this morning; here are the before and after pics ....

I kind of like the look. I post a question about them and the link to the vendor a while back and all I got was the mod police that were not shall I say real cool with them. So you may want to brace yourself for some not to pleasant comments.
Again they look OK to me.

Thanks ... I'm sure there will be some that don't like them and they have the right to their opinions. Everyone has their own personal likes and dislikes when it comes to appearance, performance, etc. That's why there are so many options out there

I just installed my filler plate and really like how it cleaned up the look.

I like the diffusers as well. How do they mount?

I like the exhaust filler plate, but I don't really care for the diffuser kit. Perhaps if they were a bit smaller, maybe? JMHO.
Just out of curiosity, is your Corvette really parked as close to the Camaro as it looks in the photo? My garage is 2 cars wide as well, and I have to back in to get the passenger side as close to the wall as possible so there is enough room between my car and my wife's BMW.

The filler looks alright, the diffuser kit? Not so much.

It's the picture, there is over 2.5' between them. That, plus my size & being careful, make it easy to get in & out.

Thanks ... the kit comes with a template for each side for positioning and they mount using 3M tape.

Yes, the hardest/longest part was prepping and painting them yesterday; took less then 30 minutes to actually install this morning.
