Those of you who have installed the Pre-Facelift Mode Carbon Diffuser, what bracket fabrication were you able to come up with and how was the outcome?

Mode Carbon does not provide the oem tab points on the back of the diffuser where the oem bracket would attach. Instead they provide to attachment points at the bottom of the diffuser where two holes are provided to complete the installation.

I have a few ideas in mind, but was looking to get information from the experienced.

BTW - The diffuser is def a piece of art.

You can utilize your stock brackets still. Instead of screws use a strong adhesive.

I was worried that an adhesive would affect the CF... No?

I used blots & washers on my Vorsteiner diffuser, it's on sturdy.

I appreciate your input fellas.
Rosswell that it how I currently have my eBay one installed, but Mode Carbon does not provide the tabs to bolt to on the back of the diffuser.
I am thinking the adhesive may be the route to take, but am hesitant as I have found that any adhesive worth using is highly toxic and I don't want to ruin the finish on the face of the diffuser even though it would be applied to the back of it.

I have a pm into MC, I will see if they respond with any recommendations.

Can u show us a pic of the mode diffuser? I'm surprised they don't come with tabs (which tabs is missing?).

Mode Carbon has responded with exactly what I had in mind for the install.
Some of his customers had metal brackets bent and worked out flawlessly form what I can see.
I will move forward in this manner. I was on the fence with the epoxy or adhesive as I didn't want to ruin the CF or Discolor the Gel Coat, but I also didn't want to permanently adhere my oem bracket to the diffuser in case I ever wanted to go back to stock.

This is a great alternative.

Thanks Nicholas at MC for your assistance.

That's exactly what I did. I made my own brackets. Make sure the brackets are thick enough gauge so there is not play

Will do man thanks for the heads up.
