Difficulty mounting CF diffuser
Car finally back together after the accident so I grabbed a single outlet CF diffuser but when it arrived and we tried to install, the middle fitment is perfect but the actual outlet for the exhaust is stiff and won't curve to the bumper. Anyone had this problem before and if so any possible solutions, thanks!

The shop said they can heat it up and work it into the fitment for the bumper I was just skeptical because it's extremely fragile.

i would put it on carpet and put a 20 pound weight on it for a day then go to 30 the next and slowly put a curve on it, over time it will bend, i had to do that to a carbon fiber trunk lid.

Let the shop do what they think is best. I'll probably work out ok, if they have a clue.

Yeah I figured I'd let them do it there Tommy since they're finally going to paint my roof and some other overdue goodies :p
