looks great! Please take pics from under the car, I'm curious to see how you install this. I'm thinking of using mine as just a lip. But I don't know if that can be done. I don't like the "flap" in the center section. I wonder if that can be cut and this secured from under the bumper..... hmmm.....

From the look of it, you can definitely cut off the under tray of the diffuser and just use "the lip". If you look carefully on the diffuser pictures, there are many screws on the inner side of the diffuser that secures the diffuser to the bumper.

thanks! What about the top center "flap," will that be needed to secure the "lip"?

From the look of it, the side screws will be sturdy enough... On top of that if you use silicon to glue them together, I don't see any reason to keep the center flap.

You cut something like this...but we cut a lil bit too much. Start off with less cutting first because the diffuser does still need a mounting point onto the bumper.




More pics will be taken at our meet!

yes, i have no idea why anyone would want to take the functionality out of the diffuser by cutting it.

I'm pretty low and I also had my bodyshop fab something to protect my APS turbo, oil pan, etc. Everything is perfect now and I'm not sure if I need the bottom portion unless it provides the same protection as my current setup. Hence, my insistence on seeing pics of under the car before I purchase.

Alright guys. You only have to cut the bumper, not the lip. Otherwise, the lip won't fit... period. Makito can definitely do the install since he did this one...





This is a Carbon one by the way..
