JL Motoring Rear Diffuser Install and Pics
I would like to thank s4treg (for the DIY on rear bumper removal and answering my questions) and AUS-E55 (helping me with the install).
I purchased the diffuser from JL Motoring on 08/05 I received it on 08/10. Packaging was very good. Fitment is also very good for the price. The diffuser came with some self taping screws and a bonding agent.
We only used the screws to install the diffuser did not use the bonding agent.
Here are some pics


We used tape to line it up


Pictures of the mounting screws












Didnot take a lot of pics showing the whole car since there are a bunch on the forum, i wanted to focus on the install and fitment

Shardul Car looks great and that is a nice clean install on that diffuser. A bit off topic but I noticed your Exhaust tips are Flat/Satin Black, who did these for you? Do you by any chance have any more pictures of the tips?

Looking good bro! When you get tired of it, you can spray it with a matte clear coat and it'll be like a brand new piece!

looks great -
Run a bead of black silicone around the edge. It will clean up the look and make it look less like a bolt on part. I did that to mine and it's held up well

Glad I could help. Looks great, and a nice tight fit! I truly believe the removal of the rear bumper is the best way to go. - Russ

Looks great! I installed my diffuser with tips from Russ as well. I was able to install it without removing the bumper but it was a real pain.

Shardul, did you just use self tapping screws for the install?

How has it held up?

Can you remember what length you used?

I assume it means the OEM rear black plastic now has holes in it so the CF rear diffuser is here to stay?
