Installing this *****

So I'm not sure how diffusers normally come in terms of installation but this diffuser is apparently supposed to go over the stock 55 one and I need to get those screws that carve a hole as they drill and drill a ton of them through the back of the stock one into the cf diffuser without going all the way through.

Now if that came out clear enough to understand, can someone tell me if this is normal for diffusers?

Any other good ways of installing the diffuser that do not require using a power drill?


danke

3M double sided tape and some black caulk (to seal the gaps).

Take the diffuser and lay it where it's supposed to go; you can check fitment that way. If it looks like it fits nice, you can probably rig it with 3M tape and some clamps (I'd still use a couple screws in addition to the 3M)

If it doesn't fit, call me. Mine didn't fit too well and I had to take it to a body shop that removed my bumper to install it. I can hook you up with their number...
