Default Voltex Diffuser Install hints/tips

I just got these back from getting refinished, sanded down, re-cleared, and reinforced. Now I got it from a member on here not too long ago, but I did not get install instructions. Can anyone help me out??

if you dont mind posting picts of all the parts you got, including the brackets. we can try to figure out what goes where.

the two holes in the back of the lip might be the mount to the rear bumper, and then the back of the diffuser mounts to the lip?

fundamentally...there should be something to mount the leading edge of the diffuser to either sides of the bumper, and the rear of the diffuser to the rear of the bumper.. you just need to piece togetherwhat goes where...

**attempt at internet install**
answer these questions
1) ok. from the pict you posted of the underside of the diffuser, there are 6? mount holes. is that correct?

2) assuming the brackets that have the rivet nut attached, those are the ends that will go on the INSIDE of the diffuser, so that when you put the diffuser on, you can fasten the bolts from the underside and not worry about securing a nut.

3)i *think* the longer brackets with the extensions would be for the leading edge of the diffuser ( like behind the wheel area) the shorter piece w/o the rivet nut is for the back of the diffuser, since it's easily accessible, you can probably put the nut from reaching in, the slanted part is up to the bumper. and the brackets with the L bend (two holes), that mounts to the bumper, and the slanted rivet nuts would attach to the bends from the center channel area.

4) easiest way is the mount the hardware onto the diffuser while it's off the car, and play around with the brackets and how they orientate themselves. they have to fit the shape of our Z bumper.. so it'll take some trial and error, but really shouldn't be too hard.

if you want to be super helpful, you can post pictures of the places where the hardware goes so that others following you can benefit from installation help.
