Arrow Renntech Style Diffuser - Trouble Fitting

Hi Guys,

Bought a Renntech style carbon diffuser and its proving to be a nightmare to fit, the sides (above exhausts) keep pinging down and wont stay in place at all.

Anyone have any tips/suggestions?

Cheers
Karl

I lowered mine down a little. Had two people help. Screen one end and the other so it had to stretch and provided a VERY snug fit, but each diffuser is different so that's just my recommendation to you.

Cheers guys, it was a struggle but I have it fitted (mostly) one side isnt quiet flush:





Yes that was myself, I did a Lap of the Ring in my 55. I now have a 63 - Check the video on my channel.

Where did you get the middle brake light for your diffuser?

Dremel, ehhh? i bought the factory rear fog deflector but it doesn’t fit. Too long and not curved on the ends. May just dremel the reflector and epoxy it in. Thanx for the idea!

looks so much cleaner without the deflector down there. on an NA spec car where its not necessary i would run it full CF without any red.

Looks good with both options imo.

Im about to get mine installed too and seems like the way to go is to remove the bumper for this to happen huh. Any underneath pics of your diffuser installed? Interested to see how you mounted the tabs and where you ended up screwing it in the body of the car
